I remember ,the janitors would scatter the red sawdust to keep the dust down when they mopped the floors also .
WOW, first time I have thought of that since I graduated from High School.
I wonder if they still make that stuff?
It is 10 degrees here now a Noon Hour, we are about to get some of he days I hate in Winter, especially January and February, high thirties to low forties, for a few days, back to single digits minus temps than back to the high thirties.
I want winter to be winter, if it never got above 25 degrees from Dec. to the end of Feb. I am happy; worse thing is thinking of gardening ( and the farmers up here) our snow cover is far below what it should be and after last summer drought , that will not be enough for even good planting this spring.
We need minimum another foot and one half of snow.
