miss rambi, I have done my pennance. The guy that did our AC work on our project had a 220 fan motor, so I spent this Sunday afternoon replacing the old one that burned up. Of course the house was really hot and muggy and I sweated out about 2 gallons of water, most of which ran over my eyeballs first making it hard to see and which really stung. The only place more hot and humid is Guam, I think. Lifting an ice tea to the lips makes one break into a sweat. I want to go back to Arlington, where it is cooler.

I am now proclaiming that the Texas coast will get a strong hurricane this year.

Del

This whole bunny thing would have gone a heck of a lot easier if you had simply called the fire department. A good friend of mine is one of the San Francisco chiefs, and he tells me that they actually sort of enjoy getting calls like that, something a tinge out of the ordinary. Although normally it's a kid that calls, much to the chagrin of a red-faced mother. If nothing's doing at the station, they may well send someone out. Impresses the hell out of the neighborhood kids and does wonders for community relations. They usually manage to do some kind of tie-in, as in this case warning all the kids to stay away from open drainpipes, that sort of thing.
