There were over 1000 unread messages when I came in today. I didn't touch my computer at home because it was just too uncomfortable sitting up and leaning over the system as I tend to do. I have a great chair actually designed by a doctor, but don't sit back in it like I'm supposed to. I'm skimming messages! :o) We have those reflectors on almost all roads in North Carolina. I've seen the tops of them chipped off but I've never seen the entire piece break off (including the under the surface portion). I actually watched a show on CBS (60 minutes I think) some time ago that covered the problem with them flying through the air and damaging vehicles. They think many of the incidents where cars are suspected of being hit with rocks are actually due to those reflectors popping up and flying through the air and hitting a vehicle's windshield.


>>We have reflectors on most of our roads here. The problem occurs after the snowplows tear up the road ad one woman found out:

>I've never seen them whilst driving in Canada or New ENgland. Maybe different states have them,like NC? Ai caramba! that an horrific story. I guess we don't have that problem here as snow ploughs are so infrequently used and I guess the winters, being less harsh, don't crack up the tarmac in the same way. It's interesting that tou have them cos, as I started this branch, I thought we only had them in the UK. Hell of a useful though.
