In the event there might be some adult rv'er north of Key West besides
yrs trly who did not realize it, there is a pale blue liquid sold in
gallon jugs as Windshield Washer Fluid that "protects down to 32F".
(Not a typo).

It looks exactly like the same product most of us have bought and used
for a generation or more - which is usually good down to -25F or
better. This stuff evidently consists almost entirely of pale blue
tinted water, but is marked "summer formula" if you look close.

I made this discovery when trying to pour a cylindrical block of pale
blue ice into the WW reservoir.  I hope none of you have made the
mistake of pouring this crap into your vehicles.

(Apologies to all you folks who knew this all along)

ACTUALLY, YOU MEAN "ATTEMPTING" TO POUR THIS CRAP INTO YOUR VEHICLES
SINCE ONE CANNOT TRULY "POUR" A BLOCK OF ICE.  ONLY PRODUCTS IN THE
LIQUID OR SOLOID STATE MAY BE "POURED."

<Not trying to dispute the RV sage, just insuring absolute accuracy in
all posts.>  (Even more curious, you didn't NOTICE the liquid was
frozen into a block of ice as you lifted the container from the garage
floor thus sidelining any attempt to actually "pour" it???)

(Apologies to all you folks who knew this all along)

YOU MEAN LIKE THE 97% PLUS PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES THAT KNOW HOW
TO READ.  YOU SEE A LOT OF FOLKS LOOK AT PRODUCTS AND READ THE LABELS
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE THEM.  JUST A THOUGHT BUT A GOOD PRACTICE TO
FOLLOW, WILL.  I DO, HOWEVER, APPRECIATE THE WORD "apologies" IN YOUR
POST.  THIS COULD BE THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA IN HUMAN RELATIONS FOR YOU.
