Traffic lights? There was some discussion of that recently on the
autos.tech group. And a link to a pic. They might have to redo some
of those. Maybe heaters that turn on in the winter, or sense snow.

Or...winter work for the brave and cold resistant, getting up in those
bucket trucks during blinding snowstorms, to wipe off and apply
no-ice-stick-um to the traffic lights!

When i was young, and brave, my father got me a job working on one of
those bucket trucks. Except, i not only had to keep the traffic lights
clean, but had to knock the ice off of the electrical transformers. It
was a hell of job, but the pay was nice, and it was a good job during my
summer breaks from school.


My filter removes all the Harrys but you. What are you doung differently?


Weird. Mine gets 'em all.
