WATERTOWN, N.Y. -- The word milling makes me think of my golf putter. It's a metal-milled face.

It's also the only club in my bag I have any control over or consistency with.

If anyone has any ideas on how I can any kind of consistency with my golf game, I'm all ears.

My scores actually make my overall game look good, but that's only because I've been putting very well. REST. OF. GAME. DISASTER.

Anyway, back to the actual milling that's important.

Gotham Street (State Route 12) in Watertown is getting work Tuesday. Milling operations begin at 6am and will last until Friday.

Paving will begin that next Monday.
