  The tracks for the mainline CSX (nee C&O) divide Huntington North and
South*.  Many years ago, lost in the fog of time, viaducts were made
under the tracks for traffic.  All are clearly marked X'x" clearance. 
Yet there are truckers who ignore that and while the tops are not sheared
off  (due to speed) they do get stuck and have to be towed out.
  (*When Huntington was laid out in 1871, the tracks were on the edge of
town, out of the way.  As time passed and the city grew people moved to
the southside it was no longer a boundary).

  I was raised as a Southern gentleman.  Part of that is opening/holding
doors for others.  Some younger folk still do, but for many the person
behind is on their own.  Also part of this was allowing older people to
go first.

  For me the less snow and cold the better.

   Absolutely.  And once the rain is done, unless there's flooding, its
gone.  Snow tends to stick around a long time.

  Some burning is natures way of cleaning out the dead wood so new plants
can grow.  The ashes left also provide nutrients for the new plants.

  I often think to myself when a car peels from a red light, "Better
hurry, you don't want someone to beat to the next one".

  He was so good, a fine comedian.
  I have many recordings of "The Goon Show" from the BBC in the '50s he
starred in.  An insane program.
