Good Fences

I know Fences have been a favorite of yours for a long time, Theresa, so this is the perfect meme for you.  Congratulations for inheriting it ... this will be fun.

Should I say this is a fence, but technically it is a railing?  Or, should I say this is a railing, but technically it is a fence?  Guess it doesn't really matter ... it functions as a fence on either count.
