Absolutely Anything Else

My son would disown me if I suggested he go to a drag race.Yikes I can hear him now!Yes, figs are Biblical food but they have the weather for them over there in the Holy land.I find that funny, Holy land, it is the people who can be holy not the land. Unless you are talking about the land with the burning bush,have to remove your shoes there.Of course there were cursed lands and cursed people.IDK, no A/C here and I think the weather is about perfect ATM. I was freezing at the water the other day; Husband says I am all bones that is why.Not my choice, just happend.My well off cousin in Maryland just had a A/C unit put in her entire house. 52 years in the smae house and she does it now? - @Marilyn Tassy

I thought drag was mostly moving into mainstream.   In the UK, we've had a number of drag performers who have de-frocked themselves into being TV and game show presenters.   One of them they still fawn over but I never liked him either way.  He's dead anyway - Paul O'Grady.   His female persona was Lily Savage. Never liked her either!  I thought both of them sounded too rough and grating.  The "humour" came across as just a bit nasty.  Oh well, won't be crossing my path although when I was in Liverpool, someone pointed out his house was visible from the waterfront on the other side of the Mersey (river).  Like I wanted to know that.  Not something I can unsee and forget.

Mrs F and I have just discussed figs and of course Adam and Eve covered themselves up with fig leaves.  Forgotten about that.  Apparently Jesus cursed the fig tree for not having any fruit and the following day the money lender's place collapsed and somehow the two are conflated.

Airco is relatively cheap nowadays but the power is the problem.   I tell people to get a version that has heating and cooling, then it's possible to use it as a heat pump to heat up a room.  It works really well at those shoulder times, when it's not quite cold enough for gas central heating or electric fires.  They work down to -10C or -15C which possible here of course.    As you're in an apartment house, the housemeister might want to get involved in the installation.    We built our house to keep heat in, not out - lots of insulation, triple glazing etc.  That was the way even a few short years ago and definitely not for hot, desert like conditions we suddenly face now. Luckily we have shutters to keep out the sun. They work really well and probably stop 80% of the heat but we still need to move it so we have ceiling fans as well.   They look like aeroplane propellors as I like planes. 

52 years in the same house.  That's commitment.  I've heard about people being born in a house and living in it all their lives.  I suppose they know everything about everyone around there.  Mrs F knows everyone's gossip but I don't.   I meet people dog walking regularly and we exchange a few words about our dogs.
