Beavers and brine

photo care of City of Beavercreek, Ohio

This week I'm getting into the Christmas spirit of sharing by talking up the talent that is out there in bloggoland. And because it's so tropical and stinking hot and flooding wet here in the monsoon latitudes, I thought that I would start with a shout out to the good folk of Beavercreek, Ohio, USA.
Apparently at this time of the year, it's so freezing cold in their land that they pour brine onto their roads to stop snow and ice bonding to the surface. Mad. More here. Meanwhile we are breaking out the sunscreen and the warm water wax.
