Happy timezones, Friends! I was inspired to put this post together when I read an article that mentioned Michigan is the worst (or “first,” as I put it) for potholes in the U.S.1
So, here is what I know about that:
And, because it’s Tuesday…
And because it was a funny poem:
May your day (or night) be filled with joy and plenty of breaks!
Oh! And, stay warm!
Thank you for liking, lurking, reading, and commenting!

Loved all of these!
Gwen.
Thank you, Gwen. 😀
Never laughed so hard about potholes! I have hit enough for three lifetimes.LOL
Welcome to the real world. Try Africa for size, only we don’t get snow to cover the pot holes 🙂 Beautiful pics – as usual, well done. Blessings, Peter-James.
Thanks for the laughs, Kymber! I needed these this morning! Wishing you a wonderful weekend! 🩷
You are so welcome. I’m glad I made you laugh. 🙂 I’m wishing you a wonderful weekend, and week ahead, too! 🙂
pretty cute! And that cold patch stuff doesn’t last long at all!
LOL Great to see you, Jonathan!
Oh, too funny. But it’s Ohio not Michigan grin so true. We have potholes you can turn into mini lakes in the summertime.
Ohio! Oh dear, can we still be friends? LOLOLOL 😂🤣 I’m just kidding, I love Ohio. I once lived in Cincinnati. 😀 And as for the potholes you have, you totally understand where I’m coming from. 🤍🌺❤️
I don’t remember potholes specifically when I was in Detroit, but I’m sure they were there. I wasn’t driving so maybe oblivious listening to music or something.
But here’s a cute pothole story (if a pothole story could be “cute.”) When I was single, I worked in NYC and lived near mass transit so I got rid of my car and didn’t drive for nearly 12 years.
Then when I moved in with my husband (then boyfriend) I had to get a car. One day we met at an event and were in separate cars. When we both drove home and he followed me. He thought it was so funny that I knew where a pot hole was and I swerved around it. I was just so careful. I had a brand new PT Cruiser at the time and I was treating it like a baby.
LOL I think I would have treated it like a baby, too. I think that would be so cool to live in NYC and take mass transit instead of needing a car.
I absolutely love your pothole story. LOL
It’s Maryanne. I have no idea why my comment showed up as “Anonymous.”
Too funny!
I don’t know why either, but I have been looking around back here behind the scenes trying to figure that out. LOL I’m so glad you let me know it was you.
It seems we have the same problem all over the world.
I believe it! 🙂
LOL. Those were so funny, Kymber. I found myself laughing out loud more than once! I hate potholes, so it’s fun to see the lighter side. The poem was a great way to end. Thanks for the fun!
I’m so glad it made you laugh, Diana! 🙂 When I saw that poem, I knew I had to post it. lol
Kymber these are wonderful and worth a reblog
LOL Thank you so much. I’m glad to hear that. 🙂
Haha, that one meme with the officers!
LOL Right? I liked that one, too. 😀
Very funny! I remember going to my grandmother’s house in Michigan for Christmas and marveling at the six foot snow drifts!
I’m glad you liked this post, Dawn. Oh, yes. As children, we built a lot of forts with tunnels through the snow. It was so much fun!
Fun memes, Kymber. I had to laugh at the one where the pothole crew got stuck in the pothole.
Thank you, Eugi. I’m glad you laughed. 😀 That one made me laugh out loud, too. lol
As long as you keep those potholes over there, neighbor. Wisconsin has enough problems! 😜
Haha! Hello, there, Neighbor! 😀 I hear you there!
Super cute, Kymber, but I think Alberta could give you a run for the money, lol
LOL I believe it, Jacquie! I bet you have lots of stories to tell. 😀 xo
Yup. Twenty five years in Michigan allowed me to laugh out loud at the memes. Thanks, Kymber.
I’m so glad this post made you laugh, John. I was giggling the whole time I put all the memes there. I’m also so glad you could relate. The struggle is real. LOLOLOL
These were hilarious. I used to work for the Street Department in California so I know more than most about potholes. Yikes!
Thank you, Jacqui. 😀 Oh, yes, so you know the struggle. haha
Hey, at least you’re first in something! Love the funny memes. 😀 We have plenty of potholes around here too, but I think Quebec is worse than Ontario.
Right on, Debbie! That’s why I changed it to say “first” instead of “worst.” LOLOL I bet you have some pothole stories to tell. LOL
Lol Kymber. This post could have very well been Toronto instead of Michigan. 🙂 <3
Oh yes, I know that’s right! LOL 😂🤣
Wow, didn’t know about Michigan and potholes!
Yes, true story. LOLOL 😂🤣
