Hi Hap,

->  hn> 30's...with occasional dips below freezing. Daytime temps are hight
->  hn> 40's to mid 50's.

-> Good, keeps the road from icing for the most part. I think we're a few
-> degrees higher since we're on the water but a few miles inland, it does

 hn> We tend to have warm winters and cool summers...I kinda like that

We're finding that we really did appreciate the fairly consistant temps
in HI. (G)  For the most part, summers weren't too warm nor winters too
cold.

->  hn> out on the road, she wanted nothing more to do with NYC traffic!

-> I don't blame her. (G)  BTW, did you see AZ got some snow in the last go
-> round?  Ten years ago, we got about 10" on post and I-10 (30 miles
-> north) was closed from just west of where we'd pick it up eastward to
-> the TX state line.

 hn> Yep I saw it...I've been keeping an eye on Alberquerque and New
 hn> Mexico's weather. Figures, I wanna go there for some sun and warm
 hn> dry...and it snows! ->

It's the law of "go figure". At least you shouldn't be getting the heavy
afternoon rain like we had one year going thru Alberquerque.  Water was
several feet deep in the drainage ditch that ran between north & south
I-25; we saw one guy wearing shorts, no shirt, driving an open jeep.  He
was getting a free shower, just needed the soap/shampoo and a towel on
the other end.

->  hn> We are certainly looking into it, and if we can, we'll be there!
-
> Good; it's still not 100% sure that we'll be there--depends on if Steve
-> can get leave--but we're going to try as hard as we can. (G)

 hn> We're not 100% sure either, I've obligated myself to the Mariners, and
 hn> also to teach a couple of photo workshops...depends on those schedules
 hn> as to what free time I get this summer.

Well, you have the picnic date; maybe you can guest usher at the
Nationals stadium or Camden Yards. (G)

->  hn> grey and it drives a lot of people away after a winter of no sun and
->  hn> lots of grey skies.

-> Sounds like Germany in the winter.  There would be occasional bright
-> sunny days, more so in Berlin, but they would be cold!

 hn> Much warmer than a German winter....and some say it's even more
 hn> bleak...

I guess it's good for working on your coat of rust.  People with SADD
must really have a time of it there.

->  hn> I have dual wide screen LCD monitors on my desktop...niiiiiiiiiice!

-> Steve asked if I wanted to go back to the older monitor; he wanted 2
-> wide screens but I decided to keep the one.  He's still having problems
-> installing what he wants, where--spent most of his lunch break working

 hn> Since I do a lot of digital imaging work the two screens work very
 hn> well for me, I can put my palates and tools on the right screen and
 hn> have nothing but image on the left.

Sounds like a good set up to me.

-> -> Sounds like a friend of mine--even a bell pepper borders on the spicy
-> -> side for her.

->  hn> Yup, that's my Annie!

-> I suspect I'd be about a plus 3 on your scale.

 hn> I bounce around as it seems my heat tolerance goes up and down for
 hn> some reason (grin) but I'd usually settle on 4 ish and sometimes 5

ON a good day I might be a 4; other days, a 2 is all I can handle. Steve
likes hotter than I do; he'd probably go between 4 & 5, depending on how
much other flavor in the food.
