Rita, I laughed out loud at your comment about 'bad hair life' in the South and just had to share with the group. Thankfully my hair is long enough to put up in a ponytail, because that's about all I can do in this heat. It's 10:30 in the a.m. as I sit here typing this and already my hands are STICKING TO THE KEYBOARD! I may have to run into the W/M and find some talcum powder as you suggested.

I've always heard that it uses less gas for a truck to run all night than it does to shut off the engine and start it up again. But seriously! This truck parked next to me and ran for at least 12 hours -- how is it possible that they were saving fuel? It didn't ruin my sleep as I've gotten quite good at snoozing over the sound of trucks and cars screaming in at 3am with their radios blaring. Perhaps you ask, if I'm asleep at 3am how do I know the cars come screaming in? That is called dramatic license -- hyperbolic overstatement if you will, for the amusement of the reader. :p
