Sorry!

In England (long live St. George) the things down the middle of the road
are called cat's eyes. Their use started during the war so that you could
see where the road was with no street lights. A wonderful idea.
(I should have put a :-) on 'to avoid confusion' to avoid confusion.)

As to snowplows ripping them up, any competent designer should be able to 
solve that problem. Why I could do it myself, given around $250,000 for
research. ("Although it is not clear from the original application why
the research had to be done in the south of France" :-).)

"Anyone for Dragonburger?"
