Hi Christine,
<< No, Del, I am not a nurse. I guess you are really asking me how I could be so stupid!!!!>
No, I just was curious what you did for a living. You are reading too much into my question. I don't know diddly about filling out disability forms but that doesn't make me stupid does it?
Without beating this Ozone thing to death, Ozone is simply a 3 Oxygen molecule, O3, instead of a 2 Oxygen molecule, O2. In that state, it absorbs a lot of ultraviolet rays from the sun, that would otherwise reach the surface and cause harm to living things. The holes let these rays pass to the surface, fortunately near the South Pole, where they don't cause much harm. The ozone hole does not contribute significantly to global warming. That is mainly done by CO2 and Methane reflecting infrared rays back to the surface, that are trying to escape back into space.
Intermagnetic General (IMG) has a very good Freon replacement called Fr-12. It is not widely accepted yet, even though I believe it is the best substitute. There is a site under Miscellaneous Technology here at SI.
When you harvest those cucumbers, do you carry them back to the house by making a basket with the front of your dress?
