SPRINGDELL: Another reason not to speed on 841

This morning I was driving south from Springdell on Route 841, with a Mercedes behind me. It's a short trip, but we encountered one obstacle after the other in the southbound lane: a vulture lunching on road kill; a pool of standing water; a big pothole; and a disabled white car pulled only halfway off the road. By the time I turned onto Route 926 to get to the landfill, I felt a certain affinity for the Mercedes driver, as if we'd bonded during the experience. Goodness knows what he encountered between 926 and 41!
