You could probably get a reasonably comfortable shower without using a hot water heater at all, if you had a mind to. By July … [Read more...] about Mother Nature is my hot water heater

Ceremony spot
If all goes well, the wedding will be in the courtyard at La Mansin del Rio. I did an almost-360 with the camera and pasted them into a panorama, although things don't line up just right. Click the photo for the big picture. It'll take forever to download, but I had to do it … [Read more...] about Ceremony spot
