Do You Pre-Rinse Your Dishes?
Do you pre-rinse your dishes before washing them in the dishwasher? You may be wasting water, if you believe this research by Consumer Reports:
Some time-worn habits are hard to break like rinsing your dishes before you put them in the dishwasher. But stopping this ritual pays off in time and money. Not only will you save water but the energy it takes to heat it as well. Dishwashers are made to do dirty jobs so just scrape the excess food from the plates and let the machine do the rest of the work.
Pre-rinsing your dishes in the sink can easily waste more than 6,000 gallons of water per household each year. If you want to wash your dishes before the machine is full, use the rinse-and-hold cycle, which uses about half the water you’d consume hand washing them. And to get the dishes their cleanest, load large items at the side and back so they don’t block the water. And face the soiled surfaces inward so they’re hit by the spray.
What do you think? Do you believe Consumer Reports?

3D Street Murals By John Pugh
If you encounter one of these amazing 3d murals by John Pugh painted on the side of a building, you might feel like you’re peering into a tear in the space-time continuum. Don’t worry, they’re just incredible works of art, no need to call The Doctor.
Pugh describes his work as “monumental mural art”, and he masterfully utilizes the trompe l’oiel technique to give the illusion of depth in works which are epic both in scale and lifelike detail.
If a roadrunner ever seems to run straight into one of these murals, don’t race after him or you might end up as flat as a pancake!
