[PRCo] Monkey links

[Bob Rathke]

The southerners on this list should keep in mind that PTM is in the north - 
as in "north wind", "Northeaster", "North Pole". :-)

Seriously, around here in January, after a 10" snowfall we just go outside, 
brush the snow off the car's windshield and start driving. We don't even use 
snow tires or tire chains anymore, although I think I've still got a box of 
Monkey Links in the garage.

Any of the younger drivers who want to know what Monkey Links are, please 
reply.
