  Our culture has embraced road salt, excessively and
maniacally, with predictable results.

A few years before the turn of the century, when we lived
between New Salem and Voorheesville, a driver attempted to
stop for the intersection at the bottom of New Salem Hill,
spun out on the salt, missed the gas pump by inches, and
took out a whole row of newly-repaired Saabs.

Last I heard, the Saab dealership had moved to the top of a
hill, well back from the road.

I hated to be overtaken in those days, because the tires of
the overtaking car would throw up a cloud of finely-ground
salt.
