Cold Miser

Its mainly due to the cost of doing work in the northeast...unions, cost of construction, rent/ real estate costs, etc. There is an article somewhere that talks about the chain, Wawa and how the northeast is a costly place ro open stores. Sometimes you will see a store like Old Navy or some other crappy chain store opened up in a high rent area of a city. People wonder how they can afford to stay open. Sometimes that particular location will take one for the team so to speak, barely making ends meet in order to maintain a brand image that people can see and will remember. Places like fast food are tough, and risky to take a chance on, especially a place like Chick-Fil-A where they are sticking to their high ground with regard ro being closed on Sunday. That is a huge loss of business if you are paying triple net on your high rent lease.

I guess it was worth the risk to catch that 6" wave on near flat waters.

Great couple of days incoming.

What is there to be concerned about? People have discussed it. Extended summer mode. That's it. Yup. I don't think people care as much as others would like them to. Not going to mention names, but...

37F.

How about a top secret, super-duper nino?

Lol. Did you actually deal with this, or did it just stop on its own?

...Charts, Charts, and MORE CHARTS! BRING on the CHARTS!!!

lol. Stop. It's definitely not the same kind of uncomfortable as July or August. I am pretty sure those who are not installed anymore, or who did not install will live.

It has been all around a B++/A- in my books. Even with the humid days. The good thing about those days is they did not linger on for ever. Plus the lack of rainy weekend days were nice for people like me who work on the weekdays, and have weekends off.

Swimming at the lake though October FTW.

I don't recall the final totals for the mid-Atlantic that season (probably because I went to therapy and had such thoughts hypnotically removed from my mind), but I don't remember them getting more snow than way up north. Wow.

The only jack South of the pike for the next 6 months.

Awful story. Same shit in the Adirondacks. There is about 2-6 weeks in late May through June that you just dont want to be outside. There is actually a road race named the Blackfly challenge during that period. 2 words, Fu.ck That. That Bens is good , but like you say, not 10 hours. Also, its not supposed to be applied to the skin, which I have done.
