Summer is here finally. We almost hit a heat wave as
the temperature was in the 90″s for two days but
interspersed with two days only in the 80’s so we
didn’t qualify. I, for one, love the summer as it is
so short. This year it felt like spring was 6 months
long because we have had so much rain.

The sunset finally reached midway over the lake and
is starting to go back to where I will not be able to
see it directly from my deck. I just loooove the
sunsets as Mother Nature is the greatest artist
in the world that humans try to imitate. It always
amazes me how they are all so different, that so
many different visuals can be created by just using
cloud formations and then the gorgeous rose colored
hues after the sun has disappeared over the horizon.

The beach in front of my house has a lot of activity
now as the kids have no more school and they can
swim to their hearts content. The raft is out there
with the ladder that was rescued from the clubhouse
which was demolished. Just watching it be rescued by
this huge machine with its big mouth that was capable
of reaching in and pulling it out with such gentleness
that it came out unscathed although the roof had
collapsed on top of it. The kids do not have such
awe of having it back as kids take things for granted.
And…..I am back to my old job of keeping an eye on
the raft and scolding too much rough housing on it. There
is a huge tire inner tube that is also attached to the
raft that they enjoy jumping into.

Summer’s heat also brings things to our awareness that
we should watch out for. The normal ones like putting
on enough sunscreen and proper hydration and this
one that I will include now. I was aware of this as
I need to stay away from chemicals but many people
are not aware that such a simple thing could save
them a lot of anguish now and later one. Enjoy!

CAR AIR-CONDITIONING –
VERY IMPORTANT!

My car book says to roll down the
windows to let out all the hot air
before turning on A/C.

WHY? Car Air-conditioning – No
wonder more folks are dying from
cancer than ever before. We
wonder where this stuff comes from
but here is an example that explains
a lot of the cancer causing incidents.

Many people are in their cars first
thing in the morning and the last
thing at night, 7 days a week.
As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and ill.
Please pass this on to as many people as possible.
Guess it’s not too late to make some changes

Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!!

Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as
you enter the car.

Open the windows after you enter your
car and then turn ON the AC after a
couple of minutes.

Here’s why: According to research,
the car dashboard, seats and air
freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer
causing toxin (carcinogen – take time
to observe the smell of heated plastic
in your car).

In addition to causing cancer, Benzene
poisons your bones, causes anemia and
reduces white blood cells. Prolonged
exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing
the risk of cancer. Can also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is
50 mg per sq. ft. A car parked indoors
with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg
of Benzene.
If parked outdoors under the sun at a
temperature above 60 degrees F, the
Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg,
40 times the acceptable level.

People who get into the car,
keeping windows closed will
inevitably inhale, in quick
succession, excessive amounts
of the toxin.
Benzene is a toxin that affects your
kidney and liver.. What’s worse, it is
extremely difficult for your body to
expel this toxic stuff.

So friends, please open the windows
and door of your car – give time for
interior to air out -dispel the deadly
stuff – before you enter.

Thought: ‘When someone shares
something of value with you and
you benefit from it, please share it
with others.’

This is what snopes.com says.
It is not the air conditioning in the
car but the Benzene producing
agents that cause cancer.

Please keep your children and loved
ones safe from this poison. It is easy
to do and please share it with others
so we can eliminate at least this hazard.

Love and Light
