Why is the black box on a plane really bright red? If it was called the red box instead of the black box, the morons looking for it could probably find it faster. Not only that, but if the black box (which should really be called the red box) can survive a plane crash, then why don't they make the plane out of the same material that the black box/red box is made out of?

Fun post!

I can answer this one.... back in the good ol' days the roads were NOT plowed. They were rolled. The snow packed down & became a good surface for travel.... until... you guessed it... Spring. Then they had the discovery of the term "mud season". So they went to plowing and mus season went from 6 weeks to one week. Then they went to pavement & the roads now evade mud season for the most part.

Hey wait a minute, do you mean I'm still living in the good old days? They do however plow our dirt roads otherwise we would have a 10 foot drop to the drainage ditch if we should slide off. Besides that those want-a- be zamboni drivers have to practice somewhere.

Some cities around here prefer to dump huge amounts of salt on the snow, rather than plow. Then at 20 mph you can hydroplane on four inches of granulated slush.

granulated slush.

Good description, reminds me of the many words the Eskimo's have for snow. i definitely prefer to drive on packed snow then slush. New state regulations required the center of the road be bare within 24? hours after the storm stopped. Even out in the boonies if it was a state aid highway. Stupid city folk making sweeping changes without thought to the consequences.
