Yes, you are correct, people generally have concrete driveways, wiseguy.>>

This brings up a burning question that has been keeping me up nights of late. 
The street in front of my house, as one example, is a material made at the 
asphalt plant. Sometimes call blacktop, or chipseal (cheap and dirty) or 
asphalt.

So why is it when the TV newsreaders are breathlessly recounting some minor 
happening at the local flugplatz (mandatory MB talk), they always blather about 
"the TARMAC". All the pavement (excluding the runways, one assumes) is tarmac 
tarmac tarmac.

Yes, I know, short for tar macadam. So what? It's bleeding asphalt.

What did I do with those little yellow ones?
