Red Dog...now there's a term I haven't heard since my days living in Western
Pa.   My uncle in Overbrook had his driveway covered with Red Dog in 1949,
and his two year old son cut his hands when he fell on it.

The two year old son - now 58 years old - visited with us in Illinois  this
weekend! (His hands have healed.)
