    RW> This place, if you use the ceiling fans judiciously and   
    RW> copious covers for the bed can do alright.  The key here is   
    RW> to remember to switch the ceiling fans to rotate the proper   
    RW> direction  twice a year, once for heating season, the other   
    RW> way for a.c.   
      
   We don't have ceiling fans, but yes I've heard that...  :)   
       
    RW>> steaks    
    RW>> throw them on the charcoal grill once more before it gets too cold.   
    RW>> See what happens Thanksgiving day, since we're too broke for a   
    RW>> turkey or a ham this year that'll be a thanksgiving day treat if   
    RW>> the weather cooperates.    
    NB>> Without any added expense, besides... :)  Don't know what your   
    NB>> forecast is, but for here it's supposed to be sunny and warmer...   
    NB>> quite pleasant.    
      
    RW> We ended up being unsure enough, and it was a bit chilly   
    RW> iirc so we made a pot of chili instead.  IN fact, some   
    RW> leftover from it is going to be supper this evening.   
      
   Maybe you'll still get a chance to use the steak... or did you put them   
   into the chili?   
      
    NB>>> Not even May?  ;)  Surely it's better by then... :)    
    RW>> iT's starting to get toward acceptable, but i've seen some   
    RW>> good ones up north even in April.   
    NB>> They don't tend to last long by then, though.  I do remember a   
    NB>> Mother's Day snowfall... rather sad, but it really didn't stick   
    NB>> around more than a day if that... just was not so nice to wake up   
    NB>> to... ;)   
      
    RW> Yep, seen enough of those late ones.  Still remember sitting out on my   
    RW> front porch back in Des MOines one evening, Iirc 1982.  That night my   
    RW> roommate hollered in at me that it was snowing, I said "no" not calling   
    RW> him a liar, but he took it that way so he threw a couple snowballs at   
    RW> me .    
    RW> Earlier that day we'd had a tornado come across the north   
    RW> side of the metro area, it was 83 degrees, etc.  Then around midnight   
    RW> here came the snowstorm.    
      
   Crazy weather for sure...   Tornado probably was spawned because of that   
   great temperature differential...    
      
   ttyl         neb   
      
   ... The solution to a problem changes the problem.
