It is far too cold to go outside, let alone sail. Don't know how you guys in the more northern regions deal with this stuff. I am still in Dallas taking care of my mother, and it is supposed to be down into the mid teens here Thurs. night. No way I'm going out in that. So here is a question to help pass the time, for those who know almost everything about everything. Why is a manhole cover round? This is a tricky question, but not a trick question. There is a genuine, legitimate reason for them being round.
