Snow in NoVA/DC?MD
sand in our rivers go to the ocean... then to the bays... then off to the ocean... its the circle of life for the beach! this summer when you are at the beach... that sand thats rubbing your boys at the beach... it helped us poor SOBs in the NE drive around when the white stuff fell from the sky.

Had you spread busted car/bike parts on your driveway you coulda gotten out. I know there's plenty around that house.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

particulates = sediment

again, sand is sediment, but not all sediment is sand. i'm not playing semantics here, i never drew a line between sand and the barriers, but when i said particulates you assumed i meant sand, which was incorrect on your part.

:?: i never said anything about sand and construction zones! what is it with you and the silly game? the whole barrier thing was just a step to the conclusion, not any conclusion itself, which i think you're getting stuck on.

sand = sediment (fact)
sediment = bad (fact, that is why barriers are put in place to stop it)
therefore sand = bad

it really isn't rocket science.

Reading through this thread has made my afternoon.


I think this has an easy solution, the roads should be not be covered with salt and sand, but pixie dust and glitter instead. It offers better grip and when it gets into the rivers and lakes the fish will all be able to fly and fart glitter!
