For Best Results, Freeze Your Books

It rained cats and dogs this afternoon. Fortunately, Kari and I were inside the movie theater when it happened. Unfortunately, this morning I left the book I had been reading outside on the patio table and it got soaked.

Kari suggested I put the book in the oven to dry it out. Instead, remembering the great de-skunking recipe I found a couple of years ago, I decided to turn to the internet for advice. The best strategy appears to be to stand the book on end in front of a fan. It seems to be working so far.

There was some other interesting tips for flood or fire victims who are scrambling through the cleanup process. Until you have time to deal with the problem, put the book in the freezer. This prevents mildew and keeps the water from seeping any father into the book. It doesn't help with the drying process, but it buys you time.
