Cured?

How much do you suppose that mound of salt in the road actually costs? What!?! You haven’t seen it? Well be careful or your car will end up in the shop. It's not Morton’s or even those melting pellets from the local hardware store. We’re talking hard core government contract salt here. Big Bucks. Unused. Piled in the street. Rusting our metal, creating dangerous chasms in the pavement, opening an occasional water main. We should use our salt for good not evil. A better cure is spending our tax dollars instead of throwing them away. I long for the days when the salt on my face is of an organic, homemade variety. Anybody seen spring?
