Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

Fixing a pothole is more then just slapping a layer of asphalt over the hole.

And even if it wasn't, the amount of asphalt used in all the speed bumps in a city wouldn't last very long repairing potholes.
