This morning, it started snowing about 15 minutes before I left for work. By the time I hit the streets, there was 3" on top of a 1" layer of slush, visibility was about 15 yards. Within a couple of blocks, I had it in 4 wheel drive to keep it straight until I could get to a main thoroughfare. But it's Colorado, so it's only temporary. You can start the day dressed like an Eskimo, and end the day shedding buckets of sweat while dragging the coat behind you. It's supposed to be back up to 70 by Monday.

   Not bad here in PA. right now. The temp   is 69.5 and  probably around 40/50% humidity. I'm happy with that.

 I remember when I lived in Ga. and the mosquitos would almost carry you away . Literally swarms of them, going outside without repellant was like a death sentence. Here where I am in Eastern Pa. I can sit on the porch in the evening and I might get one or two mosquito nibbles. If I light a citronella candle I won't get any.
 
 Drinking apple cider vinager will help to ward off mosquitos, believe it or not it comes out of your skin pores and mosquitos hate it. It is also healthy if it is unfiltered. West Nile virus has been reported in NJ and a few places closer to here.

Sauna? More like a steam bath.

I used to do that because I'd read it was healthy - I remember reading something about it in Sylvester Stallone's book. 


Looks like I'll have one more reason to re-integrate that in my diet.

Apple cider vinegar is healthy in very small quantities. However, remember that it's a vinegar, and that drinking too much of it will eventually harden your liver (more than liquor will). It's also very acidic, which is not a good trait in the context of a body which favors alkaline conditions for health. 

Alternatively, you can just leave the vinegar out in a bowl and it will have the same effect on flying insects. I used to live on Nantucket and during the summer most of the bars would have this faint whiff of cider vinegar that they'd left out to annoy the fruit flies.

apple cider vinegar is the only healthy vinegar. It has many useful applications.
