Spotted while walking on Rombout House Lane out of the Vassar Preserve:
Looks like somebody hit that pothole at a pretty good clip and knocked a wheel weight loose.
Rombout House Lane is a tiny L-shaped road serving as a Preserve entrance and exit not at the intersection of Rt 376 / Raymond / Hooker, but it’s slated for oblivion when NYS DOT finishes constructing the roundabout / rotary. With plenty of heavy equipment now crushing it, a walking pace is as fast as anyone should drive (or bicycle!) there.

Roundabouts are rare in Oregon, but we have two new ones. One on a state highway is a bit of a head scratcher, but the one in town makes sense. Trunk street leading to a) hospital, b) good sized college, c) more medical. Beats a traffic signal since hospital traffic is unimpeded and the college traffic pulses a lot depending on class times.
