and I bet you are thinking,, what the heck is she talking about?  Well last night we were driving down a major street (2 lanes each way) and the city is  repaving it.   There is a huge sign saying  "sorry for the inconvenience but that  the work is being done to lessen the noise level of the street. (the noise of the tires on the road).   A special pavement is being laid.  Well the part we went over was really quiet... it was like softer as if the road had rubber in it.  Amazing, I liked it.   Ever heard of this before,,, or are all our streets paved that way...  ?  It was neat (and QUIET)
