Biofuels and boating
Last Tuesday I joined a webinar sponsored by the United States Department of Energy and their Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Luckily, I recorded the session so that I could go back and refer to it again. A lot of the science and terminology was not familiar to me. I wasn't surprised by that but what I was hoping for was some sort of a top-line summary or concluding statement to help me understand how viable it might be in the future for the world to switch to biofuels.
As I understand it, these biofuels do not contribute to the degradation of our environment the way fossil fuels do. With the very erratic weather and climate extremes that we've experienced in the last couple of years, I certainly believe that we're damaging our environment. Mankind is burning millions of barrels of oil every day. There has to be an impact.

More water in the mop = less time working
Rinsing down a boat after using it removes salt, dirt and corrosive debris. But air-drying leaves unsightly water spots, and mopping is tiring and time-consuming — unless it’s a Shurhold Deluxe Water Sprite Mop. Attachable to any Shurhold handle, it absorbs a massive amount of water, to reduce the time needed to get the job done and with much less wringing. And after a long wait, it’s once again available.
