up at Holodeck showed up 9 times each. It's nothing on your end (or your
uplink) because this one showed up just the once here at FidoTel.

Well, that would be right - in deep(ish) loose pack or powder snow or most
mud/dirt. But, not right for ice or for water slicked roads. For slick roads,
especially ice slick roads you need something like tungsten studs embedded in
the tire(s) to dig into the ice and provide (some) traction. Or, since most
legislatures have outlawed the studded doughnuts - ones which have
broken/ground black walnut shells in the rubber - that will give some traction
on
ice but does not hurt the pavement beneath when the roads are dry. Of course,
there is always the old-time solution of dis-mountable chains which will get
the job done but give you a pretty rough ride. But, the chains are a PITA to
mount and dismount. And we do live in an increasingly convenience oriented
world.   Bv)=

None of those things will save your arse if you overcook that corner, though.
As many have found to their everlasting pain and shame.
