    I would nominate ORH. He has long standing tenure across the many versions of this board and he keeps us in line.

    If you're looking for foliage, don't go after Columbus Day, in fact, many years we are past peak up on Columbus Day

    That’s the size but unfortunately they don’t fit my car. Thanks for taking the pics though.

    What size are the snow tires?

    As we like to say up here, the great thing about Burlington is that it’s so close to Vermont!

    Agree. I'm not a very good photographer to begin with but my pics seemed so flat compared to the real thing.

    When we were out at the Grand Canyon a few weeks ago, the airport at the Skywalk was like a military base. Constant stream of helicopter's taking off and landing. We didn't do that, mainly because I am a cheap S.O.B. and had already paid $82 each to walk on the thing.

    Wasn’t closed from overflowing sewage? Your lucky day!

    It was expensive but I figured I would probably not experience something like that again. I'm not one to spend extravagantly for the most part but in the end, I'm not disappointed I did.

    Earlier this month we went to the Grand Canyon and did the Skywalk. They don't let you take your own photos, you have to buy them from one of their photographers. Like a sucker, we paid the $65. Lot of money on top of the $82 each it cost us to go out on it but I think it was worth it. They threw in some generic pics as well as the ones they took of us.

    Give a wave when zip past Exit 6 on 89 in VT. I’ll wave back!

    Usually by this time of year, the vegetation starts looking tired and dull but it seems like it has brightened considerably since we started to get a bit of regular rainfall. It was looking stressed but now seems a bit revived.

    I seem to remember hearing about one in back in the 60's. Maybe it wasn't a hurricane, only a tropical storm. There was at least one ship that was lost at sea

    Couples of pictures from our trip out west. The first two are at the Grand Canyon and the last outside Sedona.

    I had 119/50 yesterday in Death Valley. It was still f’n hot.

    I thought there might be a weather issue but there isn’t even a gate agent here yet and we were supposed to start boarding 20 minutes ago. The pilot just came out and said everything was set except for a gate agent.

    Plane scheduled to leave PHL for BTV at 6:45. Awful dark out, odds we leave on time?

    After that awful week and a half or so in July, I’ve only had to use the AC to combat humidity for most part. Not that it’s been cool, just not as aggressively hot as that heat wave.

    Meanwhile, on the last day of our vacation to the Southwest, we got to experience 119/50 at Furnace Creek. Death Valley is as close to a moonscape as I’ll wver see. It was spectacular though.

    You’re getting old. Soon you’ll be talking about how it wouldn’t be bad to spend a few weeks in Florida every winter.

    That’s the trip I’m doing with my 14 year old son now. I was reading last night that there is a ski area down near Tucson. That’s pretty far south. I asked a guy working in a store in Williams last night about winter. He said they average 48”-72” of snow but only got 18” last year. I didntcheck the numbers but I would have jumped off the South Rim.

    We are at the Grand Canyon now, took the train up from Williams. Did the Skywalk yesterday and are driving to Sedona this evening. I like the ponderosa pines too but there is a lot of ugly brown rock too. I see no reason for people to live in Kingman, AZ
