Re: Another OT

re: humidity in winter: I grew up in a very old house, the kind that had
the large ornate cast iron register grills in the floor and every winter
my grandmother had a collection of bowls she would sit down inside the
registers and each day as she went around watering her hundreds of house
plants, she would fill the bowls with water, too. Worked a charm to keep
the whole house humidified. I wish one could still get registers like
that today instead of these dinky things in the baseboards of the
walls...
