Air conditioning and heat

Good Morning and if I hear that 'We buy any car' commercial one more time this morning ...

I have kind of an unwritten policy in the house. It's unwritten, because I can change it any time, but usually don't.
So, when the thermostat hit 90 a couple of weeks ago, I turned on the air conditioner even though it was October. See, the rule is the AC goes off mid-September (the date is flexible). Then it doesn't come back on until June.
I usually stay hard and fast with that one (sorry, PECO), but I did break down when the humidity got too much one day and we were all sweating while watching TV.
The other rule is the heat doesn't go on until November (hopefully not until Thanksgiving). It doesn't go on in October. If you're cold, put on a sweater.
I nearly broke down this weekend, though. Even though I knew in my mind it wasn't that chilly, it certainly felt that way. There was close to some teeth chattering during Saturday night's movie fest.
Close, but not yet.
So, I won't get penalized yet as the heat stays off.

Rise and Shine ---- Bathroom break

Good Morning and when does it all stop?

I know we need the government to work for us. I know we need those in elected positions to make sure the country runs smoothly. I know there are some who want the government to do less, as well as those who think it should do more.
We've had the owners of Toyota pulled in front a panel. We've seen sports stars and recording artists answer inane questions.
Now, we have this to occupy Congress' time: The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will hold hearings Wednesday on the "Potty Parity Act," a bill that seeks to address the shoddy restroom facilities for women in federal buildings, according to FoxNews.
Really?
A 'Potty Parity Act.'
This is really needed?
There aren't more pressing things going on around the country? There are problems with job growth, health care, the economy, sure, but we need to make sure toilets are in tip-top shape.
Here's an idea, flush the whole idea and get back to real work.
