This is an interesting, yet unpredictable area to live in.  When the weather is
nice, it makes the great food we have here taste even better.

I was chilled to the bone in the winter of 1995 here, but then I lived about
136 kilometers northeast of where I am now.

That's supposed to go on for about 10 years.

Same here.

Last month there was a most interesting article that described lightning

How did that turn out?

I never saw them that small.  The ones I have are in the 4-8GB range.  I
suppose by the time I convinced nyself to pay for the ones I have, the lesser
ones were discontinued, but I don't know that for a fact.

That's all you can do.  (-8
