During the weekend my daughter spent with me after the knee surgery we at one point got to talking about commodes (toilets) and the use of under the seat bidets. I think that is what I'll be getting for xmas this year from her. :) A lot of the toilets in use around here now have the dual flow (for liquid versus solids flushing). I got a new toilet that is just all low flow, it's designed so it flushes anything with the smaller amount of water.

I tend to save up projects for when I have to call out someone from one of the professions like electrician or plumber. If it's an emergency call, all the better if you can get something extra fixed at the same time and avoid an extra service call charge later.

The 10-day forecast is dreadful - up to 107^o predicted on Saturday, all days over 100 through Thursday when it's a balmy 99 predicted. Carlos Santana collapsed on stage last night in Michigan (way north of Texas and with the outdoor temperature at 86^o, but the stage lights making it much hotter where he was.) Stay cool, everyone!
