Today's NYT on the Web says that
the Kabul-Kandahar road had been
repaved and reopened, cutting the
journey from 30ish to 6ish hours -->
if, that is, the Taliban don't
get you on the way.

This is apparently one segment of a "ring road" the US
built in the 1960s.  I once worked with a
data center operations manager who got
"remoted" to 3rd shift for telling
the Vice President, after one of the latter's
dumb requests:

    Anything your want [name withheld].
    You tell me to dig a hole, I dig a hole.
    You tell me to fill it up again, I fil it up again.
    Anything you want, Sir!
