It’s been crumbling and started encroaching on the roadbed proper, so I took an orange cone I’d been keeping and placed it on top of the eroded area. Next day, cone was gone. A day later, a crew had made a big concrete ‘patch’ over the area. I’d been dreading someone hitting that hole and flipping over into my front yard. Aside from being grateful for waking up on the grass side every day, that repair job was the highlight of my week.
