Monday, our high temperature was 110 degrees. Tuesday, 108. Today (thursday) was 74 degrees with rain. We might not get out of the sixties tomorrow. I don’t know what’s going on but I’ll take the cool days. We’ll have plenty of hot ones this summer. Too bad we can’t average… Continue reading
I just came across an interesting article on carbon nanotubes being as dangerous as asbestos. Next thing we’re going to hear that buckyballs are as dangerous as when I hit a golf ball. www.ricknovy.com
