We had a new thermostat installed today. Our old one was acting up and it's really ancient compared to this new programmable 'touch-screen' version. Luckily, it comes with a manual. We're also having our furnace and air-conditioner serviced as it's been years.
L is officially added to our car insurance policy, and K wants her to take him to the mall sometime soon, without any parents. It should be ok.
There is a lot of construction and repair work going on around town. Everyone has to take advantage of the good weather. A few people were sealing their asphalt driveways today. A neighbour is having all new windows put in. It was strange talking to him as he looked out his frameless upstairs window.
A lady at the Farmer's Market yesterday mentioned it was 45C in Las Vegas, and M mentioned that Texas is not much better. I'd rather have the cooler than normal summer that we're having. It is also helping the more than 20 day old garbage strike in the metro area of Toronto.

I loved it when The boy got his license it was amazing to have help with his sister. I hope your insurance didn't go up too much. Mine tripled, it was insane! It did go down once he got his full license.
Oh no! A garbage strike sounds miserable. They are not collecting trash at all?
And yes, the summer temps in Texas are awful in general. I do not miss that at all.
Enjoy your new thermostat, Christine!

Another one. What is peameal bacon Christine ?
When I was posting a blog on Sunday everything suddenly went haywire and peculiar letters and numbers appeared under' label' and no way can i get rid of them I ignored them and then thought I had better open them in case'they were something unpleasant. It appears that they lead to your blog Sorry about that . Have you any idea how to delete them ? Something else funny happened too ! My Blogs were being e mailed to me ! However I managed to sort that out ! Strange things these computers Perhaps i had better go back to putting pen to paper !
SoccerMom, the insurance is not too bad as a secondary driver but it would more than triple if she became the primary driver. It's higher for boys.
Japra, they have designated some city parks where people can line up to dump a max of 3 garbage bags at a time. The raccoons are having fun. People are angry and the mayor doesn't want to legislate them back.
Karen, love your new blog roll. Once you get your driver's licence, there will be no turning back!
Barbara, I know I had trouble posting to your blog recently, I did see some strange codes but when I re-tried a few minutes later, the comment went in fine. I recently allowed a 'link to' feature in my posting area, without exactly knowing what that does...hope it didn't cause you a problem, lots of people seem to use it on their blogs.
