I was in Lowes yeseteday and I walked by a full pallet of bagged

particular attention to how cool I felt before I went back and sure
enough that thing was blazing in comparison.

I mentioned it to the guy working there and he said it just came from
outside. But it was a pretty cool day (outside) here in NEPA. This
tells me a great deal about the properties of concrete and how hot it
gets and how it retains heat. It was something I didn't see as being
so obvious before now. I guess it goes with the getting older and
more sensitive thing..Just though it was interesting.

It also "retains" cold. :-)
