Hi Glen,

 RH> other version more often; with allergies and asthma, it's better for
 RH> me in that the drying clothes don't pick up pollen, etc from the air.

 GJ> I can see that could be a problem at certain times of the year.

Around here, everything picks up a yellow/green color every spring from
the pine pollen.  We've a garage to keep the car in but I remember when
we lived in NC (actually, only a couple hundred or so miles up the coast
from here), we'd no garage and the car was covered with the pine pollen
daily.  Other pollens are bad also but the pine beats all.


 RH> Hang the fish by the fins?

 GJ> Better filleted and salted or vinegared.  :)  The vinegar or lemon
 GJ> juice discourages the flies.


Catch more flies with honey than with vinegar? (G)

 RH> Seriously, the solar dryer is good for a lot of things besides drying
 RH> clothes.

 GJ> Some of my friends took Australian rotary "Hills hoists" to their
 GJ> homes in the Philippines, where the high capacity of that type of
 GJ> clothes-line in small yards is greatly valued.  Also, some have found
 GJ> that a removable canvas cover can transform it into a very effective
 GJ> shelter from the sun or rain when enjoying a backyard barbecue.

Sounds like fun, especially for the children.  Camping out without a
proper tent.  My folks used the clothes line to air out sleeping bags
after a cmping trip; mom had one of the pulley lines from the back porch
to an apple tree a ways off.  She used it until she got an electric
dryer in 1966, then she would only use the line in the summer months.
After a while, she started using the dryer year round when reaching up
to the line hurt more.  I've hung many clothes on it myself.

Now that looks good!  Something we might try here; seafood is usually
available at a good price.  If we do, I'll let you know how it comes
out.
