<<We need to develop a fast acting, durable radiant heat collecting cement cover to melt snow on the driveway>>

...umm....we've already got that around here.
It ain't cheap, but hey when you've got Dollars to burn you can have one installed. I don't have one since I'm old school as I have a 1980's Arien's 2 stage 24" snowblower w/10hp that I've just rebuilt.

On a side note, I just got back from Dominican...wow, great place and they love the Americans since we "tip"...and most others (Canadians, Germans, French, GB etc) don't!! Maybe we are use to the cheap oil for the last 30y?

1)Everything was in $$$'s or Peso's....only once was I asked if I had Euro's, though I would say only 1/5 of resort was American. Germans, Canadians, Brits, French, Russian and Agrentines seemed be fill out the groups.

2) D.Republic is booming with new resort builds....and some mega builds:
worldclasscondohotels.com

3) German woman now shaving nicely...no fur under the pits, legs or creeping out of spots like I noticed 20y ago <GGG>
Brazil soccer chics...yes they look good on the beach too, very perky!!

4) Highly recommend the place...amazing sands & the locals were great, but avoid the extra 151 proof rum if you plan on drinking all day in the Sun:-)
