Construction

If you are someone who commutes daily through our beloved streets, roads and highways of West Texas, I feel for you. I have done it for a very long time and it absolutely does not get any easier, fun or safe. Many of us, depending on our daily route, know which roads to avoid, which ones to take to make the drive a little more smooth and so on and so forth.

For the love of everything do as I say and not as I do when it comes to driving in this area! Oh my gosh. I did it for the second time yesterday and I have zero patience, so there's that. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. When heading into Odessa from Highway 191, if you attempt to take the exit to loop 338, just don't!

What is that going to be to the south of Osaka in Midland off of Tradewinds Boulevard? I am in that area quite frequently and I kept wondering? One day I thought duh, who better to ask than someone at Osaka? So I called and still got no answers. Savage. You talk about a closely guarded secret! The person that I spoke to on the phone just kept saying 'I don't know, I don't know.'

It seems like anywhere you drive these days, in Midland or Odessa, you will come upon road construction in some capacity. Because I commute daily, I run into a lot of detours and long lines and one lane roads because the other is being repaired and so on so forth.

The United Way of Odessa invites you to participate in their 2015 'Day of Caring' to support Christmas in Action, April 18!
