DW is a clerk, the only one in her small office. Even the carrier is officially assigned to the other PO the post master (mistress) covers but cases and delivers out of DW's office. The carrier got slammed Thursday, I think almost 200 packages. For the rest of the month the RCAs (ie 'relief' carriers on rural routes) that aren't assigned to deliver packages on Sundays locally have to go down to Burlington and deliver there.

They are now predicting 12-18" of snow here!

Now that the water is soft, I hand scrubbed all the dishes that had gotten messed up by the dishwasher. This morning, I hesitantly loaded the dishwasher, and ran it. YAY! All the dishes came out fine. I will make sure there is at least 1 extra bag of salt in the garage from now on. That way, when it gets low, the extra bag can be added, and when I don't see it out there, I will know to buy more.

Thanks Ron. I bought some Dr. Bonners. Do you know how much in a small spray bottle I should use?

Yes Diva. I found small webs on my kumquat tree this evening when I turned on my grow light.

Use the standard concentration.
