Those colorful spray paint lines on Texas roads mark underground utilities like gas, power, and water — here’s what each color means and why they matter.
It is not unusual for many of us here in Midland-Odessa to have a little bit of a commute to get to work every day. However, for some folks, it may be 15 to 20 minutes as opposed to bigger cities where they might be on the road for an hour. I myself have commuted to and from work for many years. I joke that I do it in my sleep sometimes. (truly only joking)
For the love of everything do as I say and not as I do when it comes to driving in this area! Oh my gosh. I did it for the second time yesterday and I have zero patience, so there's that. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. When heading into Odessa from Highway 191, if you attempt to take the exit to loop 338, just don't!
Things that frustrate the crap out of me. Long lines at traffic lights when I don't expect it. That is how it went down this week. With all of the transplants here in the 432 in the last few years, I'm used to a little more traffic than usual, specifically on 42nd st. in Odessa and Andrews Hwy. going into Midland. But this one I did not see coming...
I bet I'm not the only one dealing with this nonsense already this summer! This is the norm for me. Check out the photo I posted with this article. Not my actual windshield, mine is far worse. It never fails, every stinking summer, I end up with some sort of ding in my windshield.
Let's all be real here. Most of us have either stolen a street sign, or know someone who has. While driving as a pizza delivery guy, I noticed a few streets that were always missing signs. I don't mean they were taken and never replaced, I mean I can't believe the street hasn't been renamed because there's no way people will ever stop stealing the signs.

The road I take for my daily commute is messed up all to hell at the moment so I felt the need to put the word out. Beware 1788 northbound to 158! OMG, it sucks right now and that is the road I take every single day!
