Today will be the first time this year we have been in the 90s.

I made the long haul over to the city hazardous disposal facility. The city figured out that if citizens can drop off the bad pookie chemicals and detritus that build up at houses for free, (well, no money at the time) they will not dump them in the storm drains or sewers. Of course the cost of the facility is paid for with a "fee" on our water bill. I am fine with that. I just bring my water bill from the city, and they are happy to accept the crap.

So I dropped off 16 four foot long florescent bulbs now that they are all replaced with LEDs. 5 gallons of motor oil, two cans of brake fluid that was the old stuff from the cars. Two gallons of old antifreeze, one mercury vapor UV light we use on the koi pond to kill off alga so the pond stays clear. And one old battery from one of the uninterrupted battery backup for my computer. All gone off to be recycled properly. They accept pesticides, paint, or any household chemical that is not needed anyone longer.

I usually just take my motor oil to the local FLAPS and they are happy to take it. With all the other crap I had, I figured it was OK to get rid of the oil with the same place. It is a 15 mile journey each way almost all interstate.
