“It's Fifth Street's what they call it. Northeast Fifth Street.”
“If you have limestone, once it sets up, it's like... That's really the problem.”
“Yeah, I can see. I can tell when I'm coming back from Wichita. I can tell when somebody's on there. Oh, yeah. Sure, sure. Yeah.”
“We'd have to do a road study. An engineer would have to come in there and do a road study.”
“True. It's like a lot of the Barber County roads, they use that jet rock down there. Going around the counter and it's just an army of rocks this big.”
“It's just, I don't know. Yeah. And it was a state project, so you don't know.”
“Yeah, because once your faces, you know, they cut them off from getting to the highway. And if we have a lot of rain, there are floods and they can't even get out of the house. This is Webster over there. Yeah. So talk to them and they basically told you to go pack sands.”
“They were probably doing asphalt. Pulling guys off.”
“Some of it. Some of it. Two years before, we lost $13 million one year.”
“They give tax exemptions every year. So you're losing every year.”
“Do you know any of your buddies over there in eastern Kansas or Ellis County where all the roads are lined with that lime studs? Let's see if they got an answer.”
“I don't think they work on the road. We know somebody who does.”

“I will just have to take a look at it. Probably have to get an engineer for sure. See what our collection options are. If we could get the dust down, that would help. It'd rain normally. That would help too. Yeah, but it only helps for a day.”
“I mean, part of the problem is budget's already done for next year, for one. And I'm pretty sure he wasn't expecting $6 fuel. So we're all pinching pennies here with this.”
“I mean, just his fuel bill alone, what was it? $60,000, $70,000. Mm-hmm. For a month? For a month. Yeah. We can look and see what we can do. I don't know what the answer is.”
“An engineer might have something, but it may be out of our price range, too. It's something we'll look into.”
“I mean, legally, we'd have to get an engineer in first. I mean, the engineer's going to be involved either way. Yeah. I mean, that's a big change too. Even if you do something, you're paying the guy to sit out there all day to make sure he's done. Oh, yeah. I don't know. Yeah, we can go with engineers and hedge talks. Maybe they got an idea. I don't know.”
“If there's anything on that, like fixing up a... Like getting a grant or whatever from the state. I'm afraid they're going to come out here and do a road study.”
“They can bounce check with the best of them.”
