Now that's funny... I grew up in West Springfield; in Orange Hunt right off Huntsman Blvd. Went to school at Lake Braddock! And you're right; the only people who even have any idea of what traffic is like around here are from LA or NY.

Your idea sounds like a good one. It would seem to have the same effect as my spacer idea. Not so light as to allow slipping, but lighter. Hmmm. Let us know what you find out tonight.
