Got up the other morning here in NC to 38 degrees outside and rain....though there had been a slim chance of ice overnight....Well I guess I should be a little more exact here. I got awaken at 5AM the other morning by a county wide call from the school system saying that due to the inclimate weather school was canceled for our little girl. Since she goes to a day care at the school that doesn't open when the schools don't we had no day care that day either. Fortunately I am self employeed and could stay home with her and work while my wife went in to her job. I feel for parents that had to waste vacation days they might have needed for a real emergency or for a real family vacation over a stupid decision like this..
Got to be that around here the mear mention of "bad" weather and the school system closes. I can't figure out wether they don't feel the bus drivers are qualified to drive on wet roads or what. They do give out a list of 'alternative' pickup points for the kids at the beginning of the year, supposidly to keep the busses off of the 'bad' back roads that don't get serviced, but in nearly 16 years I have yet to see them used. Instead they just cancel school all together and then jump through hoops trying to make up all the missed days come summer time. I know when I was growing up it had to be BAD out before busses idn't run or they even called school off early. Really makes you wonder if they just don't trust the drivers are are just soooooooooo worried about a parent suing because their kids bus slid off the school.....Either way it's a sad state of affairs the way things are being done. The amount of time and money are wasted by the schools doing this would probably stagger the imagination in an era when they are already begging and saying they are under funded. Then add on the burden put on the parents because of all the stupidity and it makes things even worse.....

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together.
