How do I stay more hydrated at night?

I wake up with a dry mouth three to four times a night. This has been going on for quite a few years, but it would be nice to find a solution that works and to be able to sleep through the night more often.

What to do in Managua?

What do you recommend a gringo see in Managua, Nicaragua? I need to attend a meeting there in January, and have left one day free for whatever sightseeing might be of interest. I speak no Spanish; but my interests run to art, nature and history.

Cost of leaving a pilot light on?

I have a Vermont Castings propane stove that heats about half my house. I turned the pilot light off in the spring and just re-lit it, a total of 5 months. If propane costs $2.20 per gallon, how much did I save, versus leaving it on?

Tire overinflation

The sticker in my Malibu Maxx prescribes tire pressure of 30 psi; the sidewalls on the tires list a maximum pressure of 44 psi -- is it OK to run them at 35 psi, or higher, to gain better gas mileage, or will the money saved be nullified by shortened tire life?
