You live on a mountain top...Cool !...Do you know Moose ?

NOPE but this is more of a hill compared to the real mountains of our country.... However we do get severe snows and ice storms int the winter. If you know your grading the particular hill I speak of is at a steep 9% grade.. or so it is posted.

If you know your grading the particular hill I speak of is at a steep 9% grade.. or so it is posted.

1% grade is equal to 1 ft elevation change per 100 feet of traveled roadway.

If you would start at point A and travel say 1000 ft at 3% you would either climb or descend 30 feet.

This is the average % based on elevation difference from the top of the grade to the bottom. There might be more or less steep portions of the grade.

9% is fairly steep. With ice on the road it would be a bit tricky to negotiate!

14 inches? :shock: DAMN! That's a shitload of ice!!!!!!!

Ok......a good particular incident just came to mind.

I was at one of our local mini marts that had a Taco Bell Express inside.

I asked the Hindu looking lady behind the counter what all was in the one particular taco. Her response was "Taco, yes."

So I asked her "What ingredients are in that particular taco?"

Her answer: "Taco, yes."

Lastly I asked: "Exactly what do you put in that taco?"

Her answer? Oh you know it don't you? Yup......"Taco, yes."

Needless to say I walked out without a taco. Now if she didn't understand English well enough to be competent in the job then she didn't belong DOING that job!

I can imagine what my reaction to that situation would be, and it wouldn't be pretty.
