It would have to be a necessity nowadays for me to be willing to go out into a storm, even in daylight... didn't used to bother me as much when I was younger, though.... BM> Richard's car may sit higher than yours, so more clearance; the tires BM> might have more of a grip (neighbour with a Jeep just left for work: BM> his tires have a deep 'scoop' while his girlfriend's car are relatively BM> shallow). His car does have a little more clearance, as his is a Volvo wagon, and mine is a sport suspension Volvo sedan with not a lot of clearance.... But until yesterday, his tires were in pretty bad shape (he just got the new ones on the car yesterday afternoon), and they are probably not quite as grippy as mine are, at least when one compares new to new... ;) BM>>>> (Darn: just thought of a better subtle joke: watch some old black-and- BM>>>> white programme. Resolution probably around 220; now broadcast TV is BM>>>> 720 and 1080. ...Too subtle, too technical!) NB>>>> That was going to be a joke....? ;) BM>>> Only to television engineers! NB>>> And here I thought it was just an observation of the reality... NB>>> (having spent some time in college being sorta a television engineer) BM>> Darn! I should have tried to finish!! NB>> As long as you didn't tie yourself in knots trying to make it into NB>> a joke... ;) BM> That would put me at the end of my rope! The swinging end or the fixed end....? ;) ttyl neb ....
