No problem.  I've had a grand total of four mosquito bites in the last eight
years.  Since I made some required dietary changes in the 90's the little

111 at Death Valley.

  94 at Jo Firey's and 97 north of her.

101 immediately south of Squirrely Jo.

106 on I-10 at Blythe, CA and Yuma, AZ

Highest around here was 105.

Snow.  Yuk.

I'm in Edmonton, Alberta.  We commonly get one small snowfall early, but not
enough to stick.  Then we get one right around Halloween that stays for a
couple of days, and then a break until the "real" winter.

This time it showed up and stuck to the ground WAY too early.  Just looked
outside, though... it is gone this morning.  Hope it stays that way for a
while.

Want some?

You're not alone in that.  I much rather the cooler weather.  You can always
add a sweater or coat, but you can only take so much off.  Once you're down
to skin, that's it.  You just suffer.

I got sick at the rheumy's from the muggy heat. The door from the
waiting room to the doorway was open and the waiting room is small and
narrow. Next day, at a ladies Bible study, the teacher couldn't get
the a/c to work so opened the windows. Not as bad but nearly. Both
times I felt better really quick once I was under a/c (first time not
until I got home, second time when I got in my friend's car).

Today was just right. I'm in South Jersey.

Oh Kate, I am with you on the summer heat and such. But then I don't like
the winter much either. Come to think of it I don't like any season.
Summer, get sick from the heat
Winter, joints and fms act up big time and sick alot.
Fall and Spring, allergies and all over body stuff.

I guess I just don't like any season, or is it  the season doesn't like me.

I'll still have SS and the Navy pension.

There were 3 council members indicted in the strip
club bribery case - 1 died last month apparently from
GI bleeding caused by alcohol.

BTW, I lived there from 1945 and was with the PD
and FD, but haven't lived in the city since 1990.

Now I'm waiting for indictments of 6 or more current
and former council members and pension board
members who concocted the underfunding of the
pension fund.  They're being investigated by the
FBI, SEC and other federal and state agencies for
fraud and conflict of interest, among other crimes.

I hope some people go to jail.   It is a sign of our times.   Houston has
some of the same problems.   Our last mayor gave away the kitchen-all of it.

Here, our two seasons are winter and road construction.

Ya know, if everyone has unique seasons, we could pool them and come up with
a list that may have something for everybody ;o)

I was lucky the one and only time I went through Seattle.  It was sunny and

Can't wait to go back, but maybe stop over next time.

That was my experience too.

Liberty port during my 2-week summer cruise, so I was
able to view it from the Sound.

I spent one day exploring the waterfront, a second day
in Ballard and the Space Needle

My visit was in 1976, and I don't know if I'll ever make
it back.

I don't think I could wait that long :-)

I'll be going through there on the way to Portland next summer.  Last time I
went we stopped for the night in Mt. Vernon, but had been looking for a
place to stop for a couple of hours.  We swore that next time we'd just stop
in Seattle (or more likely just outside the city) and not try to drive so
far.  With short meal stops, it is about a 17-hour trip, and these old bones
can't take 14 of those hours in one shot anymore.

There is so much to see in this country, it's impossible
to see it all.  The last 14 years I've been concentrating
just on California - Napa Valley, Gold Country, deserts,
central coast, central inland, as well as nearby "must
see" places near home like the Orange Empire Trolley
Museum in Perris and the Follies in Palm Springs.

I'm sure we'll get at least to Vancouver.  Before dancing
begins on Wednesday, we will have 2 days following the
ASA get-together.

I've never seen California... but if all goes well, Monterey could be on the
hit list for next fall (schedule and budget allowing).  Might be a bit too
far to drive, though... I may have to give in and fly (I prefer to drive and
play tourist along the way).

I hope you manage to see a bit in your two free days... but you may just
want to relax by that time.

Firechief,

Have you been to the redwoods up towards Redding yet. That is really a nice
area to see.

Also from what I heard the redwoods by Melindas are nice to see too.

I love the coast highway up toward Oregon also.

I am so dissapointed that the Ponderosa closed. We went there after getting
married. I would have liked to go back there again.

Better see all you can of Calif, before some it goes floating away. ;-)

In 1956 a bunch of dad's relative visited from Florida and
we took a trip up U.S. 101 to Richardson Grove in southern
Humboldt County.  That is on the agenda for Mary and me
when we travel to Oregon next June.

I have not been north of Cottonwood on I-5, and Redding
is also on the agenda for next June.

We visited the mission in Santa Cruz on our honeymoon
and again last December, then took the scenic drive to
her son's and daughter's homes in San Jose.

The day I arrived in Australia it was about 41C (106F) outside. I
thought it was great! My soon to be mother in law thought I was nuts. I
don't handle summer well anymore. It's just so hard to breath when your
haemaglobin is low :-( I still prefer the longer days of summer. Having
it get dark around 5 or 6 is just rude! heh

:-)   I forgot you were from Aussey world.  It is winter there when summer
here.   My youngest daughter lived there for a couple of years working on

Me either...that's one of the major reasons I moved from NYC to
Washington. In NYC, I had to put the air conditioner on in April at
times as it was so muggy I couldn't even dry my hair. Out here I don't
even own an air conditioner and don't need one :))  I have nice BIG
TREES and I'm on the ground floor, so my apartment stays nice and cool.

My only problem is the winter since my apartment stays cool, it's hard
to heat it. Last year I didn't turn the heat on because I couldn't
afford to...just used wood that friends gave me. This year, I'm hoping
that we get a raise before it gets cold so that I can turn it on at
least once in a while.

Hugsies,
