Make every drive on the town as memorable as those beautiful time-lapse post cards with phosphorescent road surfaces. Simply add phosphorus to roads, and even a drive down a dark thruway would not be so lonely.

Apart from the fact that you appear to be confusing fluorescence (shining under ultraviolet light) with phosphorescence (shining), croissant.

Phosphorus was discovered accidentally by someone (I forget who, as usual) heating a mixture of sand and urine (his own). He was hoping to produce gold. Oh well.
