Isn't it interesting how certain letters get used more often? Sometime I should do a comparison of our keyboards just to see if we used up the same letters - oh, who am I kidding, I'll never get around to doing that, even though the results might be interesting...<BR/><BR/>Sorry you're having some of our summer weather up there - hope it cools off soon! Believe it or not, we don't have air conditioning in any of our rooms. Our strategy is fans. Lots of 'em - they consume less energy than a/c. We open the windows at sunset, set the fans in the windows. Close the windows again in the morning (curtains too), as soon as the sun is about to come through them (time varies, depending on which direction the window faces). We have some large shade trees, so it stays pretty bearable most of the time, even in our semi-desert heat - but then we're used to it too.<BR/>Wishing you cooler weather!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-36704439600564697442008-08-16T06:41:00.000-07:002008-08-16T06:41:00.000-07:00I am laughing, totally relate to the keyboard.
