to decorate or carve a pumpkin
to look like "the boss” .

kin, decorated by the Morrow

TRACTION RADIAL RETREAD
•What m akes Snowflex® so special? Quite simply it's the
rubber! The les Schwab Snowflex® is made up of
hydrophilic rubber which w as onginaHy developed by
the U.S. Space program for tires used on the moon
rover. Normal rubber gets harder a s weather gets cold­
er and reduces tire traction. Hydrophilic rubber stays
more pliable in the cold providing better traction in
extrem e cold.
