Thread: Buckeye needs help

At least in the north, we have insulated homes. I feel sorry for a lot of folks down there with poorly insulated homes combined with the propane shortage.

Yesterday the average temperature in Alaska was 2 degrees higher than the average temperature in the U.S. (44 vs 44)! Temps are 30 degrees above normal for this time of year in Alaska.

YOU WILL NOT FIND A GREATER GROUP OF PEOPLE TO FISH WITH than on the pier in Gulf shores. As you age you might find it less attractive to go for the glory fish and fight the crowds at the end of the pier. THERE ARE GREAT EATING FISH OPTIONS IN THE MID AND SHALLOWS. I personally eat fish 4 or 5 times a week and enjoy the great variety available on the pier. By properly freezing them you can stock up on the current species that are plentiful and enjoy them thruout the year. My heart doctor estimated I might have 1 to 3 years and that was in 1991. Eat lots of fish and live longer than you might think.

We insulate here for summer the construction methods and insulation are the same to keep a house warm or cool...

Most homes down here have at least R19 in the walls and thicker in attics. The heat and humidity in Alabama is like a sauna in July and August. There is usually at least a light breeze near the coast that offers a little relief if you are outdoors but just a few miles inland it gets toasty.

It is amazing the difference the temp from the coast and north of the airport. The first thing I'm doing when I get down there this summer is eat my weight in fish at the Shrimp Basket then work on my tan on the pier and eat every fish that eats my worm!!
