"I had a simple chore ahead of me. Travel
to a handful of outlying remote offices delivering phone books. I like driving.
However, this particular assignment set me
against my most hated foe: suburban road
designers. I swear, anyone who can't lay out
a simple $#%*@$# grid pattern should not be in traffic management. Roundabouts,
cul-de-sacs... God, save me from the suburbs."

"I have been delivering phone books and I
could not believe how many residences and businesses do not have their
addresses clearly marked. A lot of them did not have them marked at all,
some of them were missing letters or numbers and others were so faded
that you could barely see them. There are also many roads that do not
have the names posted."

books. It was frustrating and time-consuming trying to find addresses."
