how much brighter the sun seems these days. I mentioned that to a woman, who was walking from the senior center with me, when the sun seemed to blind us. She quickly informed me that it wasn’t the sun, but as we get older our eyes are more sensitive. Daaa… Of course, the sun wouldn’t change now after billions of years. Not that I thought it did, but do I have to blame it on my age? Aw well, what else is new.

VINEGAR GOES OUTDOORS

Sprinkle apple cider vinegar on windowsills, doors and any other opening to prevent ants from entering the house.
Before painting concrete walls and floors, brush on vinegar, let it dry. This will keep it from peeling. This also works on metal.
Remove small spots of rust from car chrome by rubbing with a piece of aluminum foil dipped in vinegar. Rinse and finish with a coat of wax to discourage new spots.
