    I don't understand why people laugh when I explain why I don't want a straw.  I was in a restaurant yesterday for lunch and the straw came already in my drink, but I was pleased to see it was a paper/light cardboard straw, not plastic.  It didn't work worth a damn, collapsing almost immediately and being rendered useless, but it wasn't plastic.

    Wow.  It cost Almost $7000 to replace the old furnace/AC, but we fully expect to see the benefits this winter.

    I'll admit that this has been made easier since our kids are all out of the house, but it's being done.
