Do you ever report dead deer or potholes in your area to get removed?

Here in Maryland there are tons of deer, especially during autumn which is mating season. They get hit by cars all the time. I call the state highway administration or county government after I spot them and they'll remove them in a couple business days.

I started reporting dead deer in 2018 after seeing one rotting on the side of the highway for a month. It was gross. I figured if I don't do it, no one will.

I'm proud of my civic duty. Several times, I've reported dead deer in grass near bus stops. The bus passengers would step in them at night probably because they couldn't see them. Foul

I don't know how many dead deer I've reported in total...at least 150.

I also report potholes; probably a few dozen since 2022 when I hit one at night in the rain going 30 MPH and my hubcap and rim got destroyed. $600 repair bill. Oy.

I reported that pothole and it was fixed within a few days. It was a busy street and I imagine tons of cars would have hit it if I didn't report it.

I'm currently reporting two huge potholes in a pharmacy parking lot. I haven't found the property manager so I reported it to the pharmacy manager and county government. I also found the previous leasing company and wrote them a letter. I'm hoping it's filled in a month.

CSB.

Anyone else do your civic duty?

Do you ever wonder why the snowplows that clean your street always hit and ruin your mailbox?

They don't.

Do yours?

True story. A long time ago I lived in LA. I reported potholes. 2 years afterwards they were still there. Then I moved to a different city in SoCal, and a month later they fixed the potholes.
I moved out of Caleftornia several years ago. A decision that makes me smile every day.

My son’s buddy just smoked two young bucks last night, about a mile from my house. Completely totaled his car. I’ve been seeing lots of deer carcasses on the shoulder recently. Surprisingly they have actually been getting picked up after a day or two.
