Hi Daryl!
DS> the pavement of blacktop/asphalt started melting.
BM> The asphalt or bitumen aggregate on road surface will begin to SOFTEN
BM> not 'MELT' until they hit a temperature of around 50° C (120°F).
BM> However, even on a sunny day in the 20° Cs (70°F) can be enough to
BM> generate 50° C on the ground as the dark asphalt road surface absorbs
BM> a lot of heat and this builds up during the day.
DS> That doesn't surprise me. Plus, for pets, it burns their paw
DS> pads. Then, I have to wonder why folks want "black

DS> hotter inside. If the car is closed up, I think it could get so
DS> hot, that the windows would explode.
Yes for burning the pets' paws. Not so sure about my first dog as I was
rather young and don't remember but my second dog I had as an adult and
remember a lot better. Did take for walks but didn't force her to walk
any place specific, so if she did get on a too-hot pavement or sidewalk
she could decide to walk on the cooler grass.
DS> Yet, I thought asphalt was when you hit the tennis ball with
DS> your butt. <G>
BM> I thought it was constipation!
DS> That, too...but if you're consonated, you need a vowel
DS> movement.
I wonder if "Wheel of Fortune" and any other word puzzle games have had 'dirty'
words come up accidentally. Probably so, and I'd guess just not
show the board for a while.
DS> The X-Ray scanner likely will detect it...but I'd hate to have
DS> to go in and remove it. :P
BM> Me too, though some people don't seem to mind as much. Suppose their
BM> attitude is "it's a job, not a doody". <rs!>
DS> Really...they must have a crappy outlook on life.
Though for some that creates their paycheck, so they should be happy.
DS> Seems we've gone down this road before...it looks familiar. :P
So it's a deja view!
BM> Which reminds me, did those rats finally move out and leave you alone?
DS> Nope. Found one caught on a glue board on Wednesday, trying to
DS> get off. But, the glue is so strong, that he didn't have a
DS> chance. Thankfully, the bug man from Terminix was here, and I
DS> gave him a bag and portable gloves to take the glue board and the
DS> dying rat to his demise. They likely are looking for food and
DS> water, but I don't have any food out in the open, and they
DS> apparently got in through the plumbing, so there's no water in
DS> that toilet.
Darn. Was sort of hoping they all moved out. Assuming the plumbing
entry is the sewer line as the hot and cold water lines would seem to be
too narrow, though the critters can squeeze through narrow openings.
