"Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush."

-Doug Larson, English racer, (1901 - 1982)

Tip of the Month

Feeling the burn this winter from your energy bill? Worried that you may be helping to warm the globe? Solve both of these problems by turning off your dishwasher’s drying cycle. If you can’t turn it off, simply stop the dishwasher when it reaches this cycle. Air-drying your dishes or drying them with a towel will save 15% to 50% of dishwasher energy uses and as much as $25 per year on your electricity bill!
