You Rang Sir?

Well it seems it was a fairly normal holiday break. Despite the worst Easter Road Toll for 10 years we had no fatalities or serious accidents on our highway. Plenty of close ones though. The Farmers are out fixing their fences in several spots where holidaymakers have joined the scenery, a few road signs have been demolished, there are tell gouges out of a few banks, a garnishing of plastic bodyparts here and there, and I see the local towie has a yard full of somewhat battered holiday wagons.There are also a zillion marker pegs that are broken or bent. The modern marker peg as used in New Zealand are plastic with reflectorised tape. They will stand a bit of abuse but don't like being driven over too often. Harvesting time is the worst, as tractors towing oversized machinery hug the road sides. There is one straight section of road where we have had no end of problem with broken markers. I was driving through it the other day when I think I solved the mystery. After miles of no cell phone coverage, suddenly you hit coverage and it is smack on that straight. So the phone rings, you pull over, another marker post dies.
