I imagine every community has one of these perpetually unfinished "improvements". Here in Dutch Wonderland, the "Goat Path" appears to be on the verge completion. For decades, there has been a graded path from Morgantown (?) to Lancaster which was intended to be a Route 23 alternative, so the trucks and the buggies and the Amish on push scooters wouldn't have to share a very narrow road. However, no one could agree on the final connection to the route through the city. Best idea would have been to lop off a goodly portion of the Old Money White People Golf Club and that wasn't going to happen... so for years, horses, cattle, and goats grazed contentedly on the future bypass.

Hope you are well. My job was eliminated. I'm taking it out on the chickweed, ground ivy and thistles... because murder is wrong.
