Today I'm stepping up on my PSA soap box with a
very impawtant message
HAIR DRYER SAFETY
We have been going to the same lady for, our monthly, hair cuts for 20+ years. I don't color my hair or have it washed and dried just a

Now this being said her dryer gets used 87 more times than
a home hair dryer. That very day, I checked my hair dryer.
The small black filter had at least 1/2 covered with dust.
I vacuumed my dryer immediately. From that day forward I
will be checking it OFTEN.

I need to fess up...I should have mentioned on yesterday's
Sparks photo (below) the roses are not ours.
They are way toooooo needy and high maintenance for us.
The photo was taken during a rest stop on our road trip early May
