 MR> I know what You mean. I had to drive down to Elmira after being east
 MR> of Rochester. Went down 14 on some beautiful country roads, but it was
 MR> raining much of the time. I kept running into areas, where I got into
 MR> the Hills down south, that were flooding pretty good and state police
 MR> kept rerouting us. Nothing catastrophic, but it was raining pretty
 MR> good Tuesday.

 NB> Got some extra sight-seeing in along the way, eh...?  :)  What you
 NB> could see through the drops, anyway...   :)

I love our Southern tier. Every chance I get to go down, I love it.
Shame it is during work, but I *do* keep the old peepers open enjoying
it when I can. Never been down to Elmira that way, and it was pretty
neat seeing all the vineyards and such. The countryside, even in the
rain is majestic.
 

 NB> I don't think it's all that early for the early leaves to be turning.
 NB> It just always seems too early to me, every year... and then I realize
 NB> we really are just about to fall after all... :)
 
Yesterday as of 10 something I believe...

 MR> after the long winter?

 NB> They both are temperate seasons, and a relief after the extremes of
 NB> winter and summer...  :)  And both beautiful, each in its own way,
 NB> whether the riotous colors of the spring flowers or the riotous colors
 NB> of the turning leaves...  :)

Gotta luv it. As age crept up, Winter is not as fun, but I actually do
like my seasons.

 NB> As for getting up in the dark... I don't like that either... which is
 NB> why I argue for standard time to be all year round rather than having
 NB> to deal with Daylight Stealing Time...  I keep hearing proposals to
 NB> have DST all year round, but I'd MUCH prefer Standard Time year round
 NB> instead.  We'll need to use lights at one end of the day or the other
 NB> anyway, and I need the natural light to get moving in the morning. 

I know.. it is so stupid. there is no benefit from it, in fact I believe
last year they proved it even costs more money. For a supposed energy
concious regime in Washington, that does not seem to matter. I don't
know anyone who likes it, and I don't see the need for it any more.

Have a good One!
Mike
