"When in Rome" Update: The Blog is Mightier

Those of you who are regular readers will remember the first installment several weeks ago of "When in Rome" Wednesdays, a series in which Feeling Fuller explores the vast differences of ways of life within a relatively small geographic area. The first in the series dealt with, shall we say, less-than-thorough road hazard labeling in Southern Indiana.

For those needing a refresher, read up.

It gives me great pleasure to announce that, clearly as a result of the grassroots set ablaze by the above linked post, Greene Co. Indiana has capitulated and addressed the need to fill holes in the road, not just vaguely point them out with neon spray paint.

Feast your eyes on the before and after shots:

A big thank you to what I can only imagine was a rabid mob wielding pitchforks and torches at the last Commissioners' meeting. It humbles me to know this blog effected change so quickly.

And if you believe my post actually had something to with this, and it wasn't just some auspiciously-timed rant, I have a set of Greene County road cones I'd like to sell you.

You feel me?
