Crossing from Iowa into South Dakota and the pavement on Route 18 changes.......we've noticed this before and I understand it has to do with the agregate used in the concrete... but the road is PINK! Green farm fields on both side....but we follow the pink strip down the middle.
And the traffic! There is none. Milwaukee is a nice mid-size city....after growing up outside Chicago and living near Philadelphia..... Milwaukee doesn't know traffic. Oh certainly there are back-ups during rush hour.....but nothing serious. (I remember commuting from Bay View to Wawatosa and listening to the news only to hear that my morning commute would be two minutes longer than normal!)
Anyway.....here we are moving west on Route 18 in South Dakota and we can drive for 15-20 minutes before passing or even seeing another car. In any direction. And we see no people.....just vast fields of crops or grazing cattle.
It makes it difficult to imagine over population....as we ponder the pink and contemplate congestion.
