<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
Looks like another scorcher today. I think I discovered a really good
cost savings yesterday in attempting to write something on a piece of
paper I had placed on the hot concrete outside. My hand almost fried
where it came in contact with the sunny surface. I believe we could
shut off the grill and fry all our eggs and burgers outside on the
sidewalk with <u>no cost at all</u> in gas or electricity! And I know
it's hot enough to make Sun Tea! (And if it's hot enough for all that,
remember to be very careful with anyone, especially small children or
pets who have to or want to be outside in it! With the temperature
this high and the heat index even higher, it's way too easy to have a
heat stroke in no time at all.) <br>
<br>
I really did come up with a handy idea at the house for saving water,
work and mess, though. My husband just put an air conditioner in our
living room window this past weekend and it had started dripping onto
the ground underneath like crazy, so I stuck a big water tub under it
to catch all that water to be used for the outside critters and
watering plants. (I know the duck will love it when he finds that tub
full of water. So much for stopping the mess!) <br>
