Because sand retains heat very poorly. And you thought those adobe huts were made out of mud because it was available. The side benefit is, they provide shade during the day, and collect heat. At night, when the temperature drops, the walls radiate heat, keeping the hut warmer than the outside -- saving the solar energy during the day, releasing it at night.

I think I have a new best friend at the FBI, he calls me all the time, wants to set up a lunch early next week. He did seem surprised that I knew he was from Cleveland until I mentioned to him that his vcard in his signature said Cleveland. He only moved to Miami in August.

Other than that, a fun filled day with getting caught up on a ton of stuff. The last three weeks have been a whirlwind.

Offer letter fedexed to the new prospective hire and I should get a positive response on that today which will hopefully free up part of my schedule to catch up on some other things.

This almost explains the huts made out of dried cow shit.

I remember growing up in Pierrefonds and it seemed like there was always snow up to my neck. It was a blast - of course back then you could leave the house & be gone all day without anyone worried you were buried in the snowplow drifts (even if you were lol). Times have changed, that's for sure.

I was wrong - it's saving me $700 a month or $8400 a year

Hey Ponygirl I'm just down the road from you and we didn't get any snow
I remember one year back in New Brunswick we had 5 feet dumped on us in less than 24 hours, completely buried my car and my girlfriend at the time wasn't allowed out since she was only 4' 10" .
Worst part was that we were snowed in for three days and didn't have enough cigarettes, all this while the gf is PMSing
