Immediately

What does the word 'Immediately' mean?

Like RIGHT NOW.

STAT.

Drop everything and do THIS.

Right?

Yah.

I went to my monthly Trails and Greenways

meeting on Monday night.

We had a guest speaker from the FDOT

(Florida Dept of Transportation)

come to talk about the proposed

widening of our main road.

It bisects our town.

And you have to cross it to use

our main Trail Head.

It's kind of sketchy.

He had a Power Point

and nifty charts and graphs.

I had already gone to another meeting

so I knew that they were testing and

planning for 2028.

BUT.

He said they had done several studies

and there are two intersections

that grade an F.

People get DEAD at these intersections.

FDOT recognizes this and has funding

and plans and is going to address this

immediately.

(His words.)

So I asked him to clarify.

(Since one of those intersections is MY street!)

He said, proudly, that he was actually on the

committee addressing this issue.

They are on it.

They have the funding.

They have the bids.

They have the plan.

And they anticipate construction beginning....

2019

Aaaaarrrrrrggggg!!!!

Working with the government.

Makes everything else, including a root canal

look like a walk in the park.

*by the way... I actually take a little dirt road,

much to Kyle's annoyance

(he is the family truck detailer)

and come out 2 blocks away from the scary intersection.

Whew!
