How Swede It Is

(I posted this back in July 2007.  Since it will be warmer soon and all my fellow Swedes-at-Heart will be cranking up the AC, I was compelled to re-post this.  Flatch hopes it is helpful.)

I know some of you (based on my previous posts) may think I'm full of brown runny, but this is serious stuff that can save you money.

Check your HVAC system now!  If you have installed a Purafilter 2000, hyped to be the best filter on the planet, get it out!  I installed one on Sat and by Monday my AC had shut down due to the airflow restriction - the filter works TOO well!!

So, don't let it happen to you.  Use the cheaper filters you can get in a 4 pack at Wal-Mart for 3 bucks.   They don't filter as well and you have to replace them more often, but at least it keeps the AC techs away.

(Mr. Denton, you and your staff can play along!)

Mine was many years ago when my brother and I were still in school.  The weatherman who had been on the local AM station since the dawn of time said that we were going to get SO MUCH snow that he felt sure every school superintendent in the area was going to call in and cancel school.  When we awoke the next morning, NOT A SINGLE FLAKE HAD FALLEN!

This was the same cat who, during a clear sunset, came on the radio and said it would be sunny the rest of the day…
