My thermometer in the backyard this morning said I owed someone 1.6 degrees . . . Why do I have a feelin that I'm gonna get a bill for them sometime in the near future??? They want us to pay a tax cause they say its too warm, so it seems to me that they will want money when we use too many degrees . . .The record low for these parts is -18 back in '63.
I was usin my remote to click through all the channels that my cable company offers the other night. I found a program on the History Channel's Modern Marvels program that caught my interest. It was about grease . . . not the Broadway Play "Grease," but grease . . . the gooey, slimey, slippery stuff. I doubt that the average 'man on the street' thinks much about grease. Grease is more complicated than one thinks. They have grease formulations for everything . . . . . . automobiles, jet planes, ships, and even railroad tracks and more. Bet you didn't know they grease railroad tracks . . . it is a soybean based bio-degradable formulation . . . lasts about a month. They showed situations where they applied it with rollers, kinda like paintin a wall and brushes. There are formulations for underwater situations, very cold situations and very hot situations . . . Grease is pretty important stuff, its on everything that moves. Without it, we could be still livin in those caves that I've heard about back in the fourth grade.
