I guess I am somewhat liberated these days. I can speak about all the road work ongoing in Amarillo, Texas, even though I spend most of my time in our new home in Fairview, just north of Dallas.<\/p>\n

I happen to agree with a letter to the editor published in the Amarillo Globe-News about the need for patience as the city and the state repair roads, bridges and highways seemingly in every corner of the city.<\/p>\n

“Let us all relax, be patient, and this too shall pass – just not in the construction no-passing zone, please,” writes Alan Tinsley, an Amarillo resident.<\/p>\n

Check out Tinsley’s letter here.<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve sought to counsel the same thing for years. I will admit that my own patience has been tested at times as I drive through Amarillo.<\/p>\n

But I do try to keep some things in perspective. After all, it could be a whole lot worse than waiting to get through an intersection that’s being rebuilt. We could be recovering from devastating floods or heavy wind; our health could go south on us in a flash.<\/p>\n

As my wife and I return to Amarillo on occasion, we’ll get to experience the progress as it develops without experiencing some of the hassles of navigating through the work in progress.<\/p>\n

To my friends and neighbors in the Panhandle, just keep in mind: There’s an end to it. You will like the finished product.<\/p>\n\n
