Default Clearing snow ....

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember jgharston
saying something like:

The Sheffield Improvement Act 1818 makes it illegal for me
to *not* clear the snow from in front of my property. Some
Town Councillors were prosecuted in the 1870s to set an
example.


Hang an Admiral or two to encourage the others?
