If it makes you feel any better...

We are in a drought and we finally got our first rain in months on Friday night. We were so happy, and sat out on the back porch watching the light show as incredible lightning strikes lit up the sky and fried power lines all over the county. We were happiest about the 3-4 inches of rain that fell which we desperately need in these times of Phase III water restrictions.

But guess who left the sunroof open in the Nissan? Yeah. I got the Deet-Dee-Dee Award. Suffice it to say I spent my Saturday with a wet vac and damp rid.

"Damp rid?" Is that what you Aussies call a towel?

Sounds like something close to what happened to my dad's car when the recycling truck sideswiped it a while ago. Yeah, that's expensive damage.

i'm guessing he meant "Damp ride"

Ah so. Makes sense.

I thought it was like a chamois cloth or something for getting rid of the damp.

And I thought smurf was from down under. Maybe it was the reference to the drought that confused me.
I need some coffee.

Smurf is an aussie?

Nope, I was confused.

I think he is referring to those containers of Calcium Chloride that you purchase in a supermarket, and place in a cupboard, or a place in your house that suffers from moisture. The crystals absorb water molecules (they are hygroscopic), from the surrounding air. Damp Rid is made in the USA, BTW.
