  Those would be interesting.

  Of course I'm right.  I'm always right.  Its just a curse I have to bear.

   I get a chuckle when people say humans are causing all the problems then
try to explain ice ages and warm periods over the eons when humans had
nothing to do with it.
   And also just what is the perfect weather?  Ice ages?  Warm periods?
   I'll watch some show from 30 years ago how the weather changed and it
was called weather.  Now its human caused climate change.
   Some area had erosion that was natural, now its caused by humans.

  Yep.

  Such as all those private jets going to Glasgow of that recent summit?

  One would think they would buy property far inland...

  I do the same.
  I find second usage for a lot of stuff.
  No particular order: old metal coffee cans for things like rice, sugar,
etc.
  Old two litre bottles for juices, etc.
  Slivers of soap squeezed onto new bars.
  Old while cotton socks for cleaning rags.
  Cloth rags for cleaning rather than paper towels.
  I have a whole lot of things I use over and over.
  I was raised on:
  Use it up,
  Wear it out,
  Make it do,
  Or do without.
