- AT least they are safe and that's predictable, but I bet more of
- it has to do with the economy.
-
- I love it when I am driving along, and I see a tire chain just sitting there
- on the road. Out there somewhere is a car lacking a tire chain.
- Now clearly that chainless car might run into me or some one else, but it
- reinforces my knowledge and faith in humanity.
-
- I love it when riding up on a lift, I see a person or maybe a group
- of people toward the top of a run looking for a buried ski. That
- person did not have leashes or straps for skiing powder or soft snow.
- The more people helping and the deeper, the longer, the better.
- Reinforces my knowledge and faith in humanity, again.
