Heavily tinted UV film blocks not only UV, but also a good portion of
visible and infrared spectrum. How's the winter in Australia this time of
year?

Hi Jonny,

Well, I'm in Tasmania which is nothing like the mainland of Australia. Its
colder but greener and wetter here. The countryside reminds me of
travelling through Britain when I was a kid. We had a VERY cold autumn but
the winter has been quite mild. This is supposed to be the last month of it
now and the month where, if it's going to snow, it will. Instead my orchids
(outside) are about to burst into flower and the fruit trees and wattles are
looking spectacular. An early spring!

I just met a couple of very nice fellows that were from Tasmania. They came
all the way to Northern Indiana to attend an Industrialized Housing seminar.
(Looooooog trip, grin.) When they talked about Tasmania, you could tell they
loved the place. Early spring after a cold winter, there's nothing like it.
Were heading into fall, one night this week got down to 40F (but we have a
ways to go yet.)

Cheers from Indiana

Yep, I have an idea of what Indiana can be like, I lived in Southern
Michigan from 65 to 72, in the outer suburbs of Detroit. Used to go from
110F in summer to -10F in winter. Talk about a land of extremes!
Spent all my teenage years there, so consequently have a love of soul,
motown, hard rock, funk, etc.
