We're halfway there (whoa, oh)
This week, Root is excited to have finally arrived in Connecticut. Now that we're finally available in the Nutmeg State, we're officially halfway to our goal of unbreaking car insurance for the whole country. Only twenty-five more states to go.
Fun fact: Connecticut has the distinction of having the first speed limit laws in America, set at a jaunty twelve miles per hour. Thankfully, Root is cruising toward the rest of the nation a little bit faster than that.

Fifty shades of orange
This week at Root, we're learning that there are a lot of oranges. Among clementines, tangerines, blood oranges, and all the rest, there's an orange for just about anyone, and all of them look just a little diff—oh. Never mind. Despite the enthusiasm of this particular citrus fan, this week's update is actually about the color, not the fruit.
The app was orange. But not as orange as we wanted. So we made the app more orange.

Location, location, location
Root's doing some more spring cleaning this week. Our devs squashed a pesky bug that might've asked you to turn on your location settings again. And again. And again. (Sorry about that.)

A stark update
No game-changing updates for today. But we do have a haiku.
A dev has no name
Silently striking at bugs
The face of triumph.

Rainy season at Root
It's officially spring in Ohio, which means lots of rain outside the Root office. But we aren't letting it get us down. We're busy sweeping the supply closet, washing away a few clingy bugs, and tidying up some lines of code this week. That doesn't mean we can't take a few minutes to look pensively out the window while listening to some sentimental music, though. What else are rainy afternoons for?

Alley-oop with Root
This week, code isn't the only thing we're putting into brackets at Root. The office is buzzing as we apply our data-driven superpowers to the world of college basketball, and we can't wait to see if we're as good at sports predictions as we are at spotting smooth braking and turning.
Regardless of who wins the office tourney, though, great drivers will always be the number one seed in our hearts. Oh, and the (bug) fix is in.

Springing into action
Nothing much to share from us this week, but there's more to come soon. So here's a seasonal poem in the tanka form instead:
Root's at work this spring.
Warm breath of wind and fair rates,
and devs squashing bugs.
Outside, plants wake, and the Root
app blooms like an orange sunrise.

Crazy little things called gloves
No big news on our end. Here’s a peek into our copywriter’s life.
Items that are in her glove box: insurance card, registration documents, owner’s manual, 17 pens, expired air fresheners, a Twizzler, an old phone charger, 3 pairs of glasses, a flashlight, a map, and a phone case that’s too small.
Items that aren’t: gloves.

Georgia on Root’s mind
We’ve arrived in Georgia! With peanuts, pecans, and peaches aplenty, the largest state east of the Mississippi is ripe for all kinds of sweet delights. And now, there's a new treat for citizens of the Peach State: savings of up to 52% on car insurance.

We’re in Colorado
Good news, Coloradans! We’ve arrived in the Centennial State. Root’s got you covered from the desert, to the canyons, to the mountains, white with snow! Wait–that’s not how the song goes. In any case, you should take the test drive and see how much you could save with Root.

Happy days are here at Root
Fact: every time you brake smoothly, a Root employee smiles. So you driving safely = more happiness. Don’t be the person who deprives the world of happiness.
Anyway, no big news from us today.
