The last few times I used my electric frying pan, it smelled like burning rubber, so I decided to replace the cord. There's a little shop nearby that has replacement parts for just about every kind of electrical appliance, so I went there this afternoon. The fella said to clean the terminals in the pan, too, because they were probably burnt also. We'll see if it works.
It was simply a beautiful fall day, so I had the front door open most of the day. It just started to rain, and it's supposed to rain all day tomorrow, which should bring down more leaves.
