"[H]igher temperatures do not of themselves raise the risk of the pile igniting." Why not? Given that heat is one of the 3 legs of the fire triangle, a hotter ambient environment supplying additional heat would mean that the chemical process would reach the critical temperature for combustion sooner. (Conversely, in winter, any heat generated by the composting process will radiate into the environment and the pile will fail to ignite.) Agree or disagree?
I've had the Essential etc. collections since I was a teen, and now my son (age 9) is reading them. He really identifies with Calvin and all his travails. I'm just glad that his vocabulary is growing at an accelerated rate! (And his sense of humor as well!)
After this and the attack on the kayaker near Santa Barbara, it's like the sharks had a meeting. "Our human-eat numbers are stagnating, and frankly they've never been really great. So Glenn has a few suggestions for improvements in that area."
More like, "Well, ladies, now you know which guys are trying to impress you." Innit?
