    Today I worked in the yard and drank lots of water from my steel link transit bottle. Now if only I had some LT sun block or LT Aloe Vera to resolve my latest mistake...

    Today I let the cool air of the morning fill our home and then when the sun hit the warm side of the house, I closed all the windows and blinds
    and let the house trap the cool air for several more hours- free energy! Love it!

    Instead of riding my car to my destination tonight, I walked instead. It was a beautiful night and I said hello to other folks who walked as well.
