Umm... the road block's not moving.

I live just outside of my town on a dirt road and they just recently started doing road work on the roads around my house. Actually, they are adding a road to transport old garbage from the old landfill to the new one because the old garbage is leaking into the lake. So, it's pretty important business. They have put up a lot of road blocks because the new road is right on top of two other roads. It's super funny to watch all the cars finding various ways to get around the road blocks! Plus the new road is a huge hill so the cars have to go up over it to get back down to the other side of the road. I sit in my living room a lot now just to watch all the cars. The funniest thing that anyone has done so far is just sit in front of the road block. That's all they did. Just sat there. I don't think the road block was going anywhere. After a couple of minutes they must have figured this out and they turned around and drove away. Genius. I've also seen people step on the gas and fly over the huge hill of road. I can understand why people are trying to get around it though because the detour takes you all the way back around town. It's kind of a bummer but hopefully it won't last for long. Oh, and today there was a police car sitting there all day just to make sure no one went around the road blocks! We all better watch out now. :)
