Worry, worry
Had to turn on the electric blanket last night. Now I can worry about
frozen water lines and, worse, frozen electric lines! Heater won't work with frozen electrons. Always need more to worry about. -- You know it's time to clean the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside. |

Worry, Worry = 워리, 워리 in Korean language. It means calling a dog. This morning it is frosty -8C here. Last night just a trace of snow. I slept naked like always. I can sleep best naked, LOL! No worry about freezing anything. Actually electrons travel faster when frozen, remember super conductor? |

My electric meter is outside, in the cold, but I keep a pan underneath it to catch the electrons that fall out of it. I save them in the freezer and on warm days I pour them back in the meter. If it's more electricity than I'm using that day, the electric company pays me for them. |

More to worry about! sigh Maybe I could put some sort of drain on the line to get rid of some of them? They probably won't budge. sigh again -- You know it's time to clean the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside. |

If the geniuses that run the EPA read this, we will all be required to use catch pans. |

No worry. Indian Summer is almost over out here in the west. Cold electrons are moving east in the next few days. -- "We recommend using your hand to replace the fuse as it will take much longer using your knee." |

I heat with wood, also sleep naked.. At 0 dark 30 one very frosty nigt I was woke up by the fire alarm screaming at us. Dove out the patio door, up the steps and out onto the weed patch far enough to see if he chimney was on fire. There I was 30' out in about minus 20 weather in the altogether and bare feet. Fun doesn't describe it. It was a carbon monoxide warning. ventilated the house and back to bed, nothing more heard. Willy did thaw out. |

That's why it's best to buy wire insulated for climate zone 7 in the U.S. The electrons will always be nice and toasty. -- Using Opera's mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ |
