People thought the automobile was just a fad too. but it seems to be sticking around. Original electrics were crude but are improving. There are some cobalt free batteries in the works that will put an end to the child labor portion of it. It does not completely fit my needs yet but the one Chevy Bolt I drove was impressive performance. Range is adequate for most people's daily commute, not so good for longer trips. Price is about $10,000 more than a gas car too, but that will also change with time. |

| jmcquown <j_mcquown@comcast.net>: Jul 28 02:22PM -0400 I just cooked 2 cups of yellow grits and here they are: https://i.postimg.cc/KvC4vPS9/yellow-grits.jpg The grits I cook don't look or taste like "wallpaper paste". They don't taste like the instant grits my dad used to heat in the microwave, that's for sure. And no, Sheldon, grits are not anything like rice. This is more like very moist polenta. It tastes like corn, which is as it should be. Cooked with a little salt in the water, of course. I add butter and I sprinkled a little cayenne pepper on top this time to add a little heat. These are not what the majority of people tend to think of as typical grits, that's for sure. :) Jill |

Is this "code" > again? Not "code" as such. "Code" is mainly about safety and health. There's a National Electrical Code (NEC), a plumbing code, building codes for structural matters, etc. Not every place requires building to code, but most of those are extremely rural. Or Texas. ;) Some cities define historical districts where the colors used must be historically accurate. I think John lives in one of these. They're easy enough to avoid if you know in advance that your prospective house is in such a district. A prospective homeowner must investigate for himself whether the house is located in a historical district. John is under additional restrictions because he operates a rooming house. The government doesn't much care if I endanger my life by having deteriorated concrete walkways, but they won't let John endanger his tenants in that way. Millions of Americans voluntarily buy houses in neighborhoods that are controlled by "Homeowners' Assocations" (HOAs). The HOA can specify colors that residents are allowed to paint their houses, and they can apply a myriad of other restrictions, such as Christmas lights, flags, garden structures, storage of unused vehicles, ad infinitum. Again, relatively easy to avoid if you are forewarned. John's paint difficulties are largely self-inflicted. Cindy Hamilton |

Seriously, refrigerator pickles are made (typically) by pouring a hot, flavored, salted, vinegar solution over vegetables (or fruit)-- usually right into a canning jar full of the produce. They are not water-bath processed, but after a short marination period in the refrigerator are ready to eat. They don't last a long time because they're not preserved, as such. Most people make only enough at one time for themselves and their friends to enjoy before they go bad. Cindy Hamilton |

I hadn't heard of that quick way of doing it. I mainly know pickles via Indonesia: <https://static.reto.media/inprobanl/productfoto-2018/cached/f2e3f40a53ee2616_inproba-atjar-tjampoer-530-g-nw-recept.png> |

These bottles of gas that you and Bruce speak of have me a bit confused. Here, if you don't have natural gas delivered to you by underground pipes then your option is propane. Sheldon has that but they are quite large above-ground tanks only needing to be refilled once or twice per year. Can y'all post a picture of what you are speaking of so I can grasp this a bit better, please? |

Although my neighborhood has many old, old trees my house is not shaded by any except the crappy hackberry across the alley in the neighbors' yard on the western side of the house. But presently it is 94°F here and no clouds; the house would be unbearable without a/c even though it is well insulated. Before Gary rushes in and tells me to fling open my windows it would be for naught as there is no breeze. And if there were it would feel like all I had done is open the oven door after baking. |

Gas central > heat sounds good. > We have gas central heating now, in Scotland:) A heat pump is exactly like your airco, which consists of a pump, refrigerant, and evaporator and condenser liquid to air heat exchangers. You use your airco for cooling, heat pumps will typically be used for heating. Our condo uses heat pumps to heat water. Ideally, our system should be used for air conditioning and heating water since there is a need for both. That's not the case and cold air is ducted into the parking lot. When it's hot you can see dogs and humans standing/sitting next to the vents. ==== Ooops!!! No! Our heating is not gas .... it's oil!!!! It seems to work the same as it did when we had gas:)))) Sorry!!! |
