The Problem is ..........

rain. 
The new word of the day is ' ponding '. Oh yeah , there is still damage galore and cars are forced off roads but its only ponding,
Thats what Peterborough Public Works called the situation.
' We are prepared but expect some ponding ;. Right , guys 

In the news further : Financial problems have caused a corresponding increase in illness in Greece. Incidences of HIV , tuberculosis etc have gone up. Someone must be scrambling to explain the HIV connection . Cuz I cannot even begin to get the reasoning for that one. Maybe , its one size fits all , as in all diseases are up in numbers - still HIV  ??????????

Well ,we are getting rain , lots. Flooding ( thats what they call it in T.O. ) has diverted traffic and delayed commuter trains and buses.

I hesitate to bring up this next item. I got a letter from a friend ( alright , already , its a female ) from University days. ' Dear John ' , No , I'm kidding.
Sort of along the lines , got to thinking about the past and thought of you.
' Do you remember me ? '
Yep , fantasy life 101. been there , done that.

On the QMH front. We're ( I'm ) thinking about a tankless water heater in lieu of keeping 40 gallons of water on the ready all year.
So ,in preparation , called Kelly Fuels , our propane provider.
The tech guy was out. Left my name and account #.
The tech calls back. we talk. He had looked up my service record and started w/ ' Who told you that you needed a second propane tank ? '
Anyway , he was amazed anyone at his office would advise a second tank for someone who had minimum fuel needs.
the upshot of the whole thing - we keep the water heater , buy the one tank already there and get rid of the second rental.
Apparently , we'll get the lowest rate they have for low volume users ( us ) . Great phone call , that.

We still will heat 40 gallons of water . oh well , it was a thought
