An Exercise in Futility:

            I live at the very top of a verrry steep hill, which allows me a great view. But with an intersecting road directly across from us, the county has deemed it a slow down zone and posted a 30 mph sign. That doesn’t deter the youngsters who seem to think that if they can get going fast enough, they can get airborne at the top. None of their vehicles have yet reached the 190 mph that it would take to leave the ground, but they keep trying.

            Watching them risk life and limb at the cost of a few mailboxes, harkens me back to when I was their age. There was a railroad crossing on Hartman Ln back home in Illinois that we all knew would send us into space orbit, if we could just get those old junkers going fast enough. The only thing we accomplished was to make our junkers even junkier.
