[nagdu] speaking of winter...

[Julie J]

Thanks to everyone for all the ideas!
Yesterday I spritzed him with a mixture of essential oil and water that I 
use mainly as air freshener here at home.  Today there was no static 
problems.  I'm tempted to think this was coincidence. Or it could be that 
it's a bit more humid than it's been because it's warmed up a bit.

I'll test out some more ideas and see what happens.
Julie
