I've taken to microwaving things again. Family photos and important documents, mostly. Got two microwaves going now. Oh yeah. One stacked atop the other. Got the second one online. Place out of Montreal. Real fine service. Course, I'm taking my time now. One paper at a time. But come the holidays I'll ramp it up and zap entire bags of receipts in one go. AND HERE'S MY SECRET: Before leaving for work each day, I set up two identical alarm clocks. One in the top oven, the other, in the french model below. I set em both on defrost for 4 hours and leave. Each day I gain about 30 seconds. Come autumn and the daylight switch, I'll get an entire extra day. Probably spend it working puzzles.
