Fear & Loathing in Arizona

I've had one of those Google Alerts set up, any earth shattering news event involving road workers, and I'm instantly in the loop. Problem is it just depresses me. They usually start, "Road Worker killed in .... " and there follows a list of horrific accidents. Mowers running amok, drunks ploughing through work sites, horrible squishy truck accidents. I have been going to cancel it. Today though it delivered a fascinating tale involving possible graft, corruption, overloading, the FBI and death threats to a road worker. It's a bit of a long winded account, but hey you office workers are bored and it's Friday after all.
