The public library is having an open experiment. There are three plants on the counter and they are all treated the same except one is being watered with water that was microwaved. The plants are in their fourth week of the experiment today and they seem about the same all green and lively. The study is a double controlled and blind and is   to prove a thesis that microwaved water hurts plants.

The Study runs for 2 months.

You can view the experiment  at 1691 Garcia Street on the counter to the right as you come in the door.

Editors:  humorous note: if you talk to the plants talk to them all not just one.

It’s very pleasant outside now in the mid teens and overcast. The forecast for the next few days is  for the same and the long weekend is being called for as sunny. Summer is on its way out once again and people will be looking forward to the handle of another winter in their age. September and October can be glorious around here. With Irene dissipated on the east coast we can hope for a year of relief from catastrophic weather damage we hope .Remember the season for hurricanes goes well into November .
