I'm reminded of a poem I read as a child:**********************************
As a rule, man's a fool--
when it's hot, he wants it cool;
when it's cool, he wants it hot!
Always wanting what is not.

**********************************
I'm in Dallas, and I only vaguely remember the last time it rained.
Even then, the rain seems drier than in other places! (Maybe because
when it hits the sun-scorched earth, it sizzles for, like, a
NANOSECOND and then it disappears...)
So while you poor dears are struggling to get your paste DRY, I have
to add lots of sugar to mine, steam it, then NS it to keep it WET long
enough to give a good stain. Dang Texas summers...
Maybe if we all moved into a Mars Music store together-- they have a
big humidity-controlled room for the really expensive acoustic
guitars. And because most of the employees are stereotypical
rock-n-roll musicians (talented, artistic slackers who'll only work if
you force them, and then only do enough to meet the bare minimum
requirements for it to be called "work"), nobody but the cleaning crew
would ever know we were there. THINK ABOUT IT...
Happy hennaing to all, however damp or dry it is where you are.
Sophie (who's actually okay with Texas summers because they make her
appreciate her beloved winter weather all the more)
