Paul: you use yours more. Give it a try!
Ok, I'll do it!: I have a lot of foam hanging around from my eBay Powerseller days.....And old mattress pads The cold certainly has a major impact: today, they did much better as the temp climbed about 10 degrees. It should get up to 60 on Sunday!!!
On another note, I have my alarm set to the radio. This morning, I was awakened to an ad saying "buy your electric car at Ada Electric Car!". I left it on for a minute because I was not really sure if I was dreaming or not. They talked about tax credits and stuff, and then I realized it was for real.....
