   Good morning Roger,   
      
   RN> This is an interesting, yet unpredictable area to live in.  When the   
   RN> weather is nice, it makes the great food we have here taste even   
   RN> better.   
      
   This again is an area where we can count four weather seasons, winter,   
   spring, summer and fall. The winters may be so and so due to the sea   
   water temperature but they will at least try. The fall is the period I   
   like the least becuse of the rain and temperatures falling.   
      
   Yesterday we had rain from morning to night and even today is murky.   
      
   RN> I was chilled to the bone in the winter of 1995 here, but then I   
   RN> lived about 136 kilometers northeast of where I am now.   
   RN>     
      
   Usually we have a couple of cold winters at the sunspot minima.   
   They give us up to 2 feet of snow and cover the sea with ice so thick   
   that it's possible to drive your car to Finland on the ice. In 1967,   
   I think it was, we even were able to drive to Sweden on the ice.   
      
   The difference is due to the archipelago between �land and Finland that   
   keeps the ice from moving, while we have only an open sea to Sweden.   
      
    HG> colder climate so we may forget the global warming for a while.   
      
   RN> That's supposed to go on for about 10 years.   
      
   Well, the two previous minima we know of lasted 70 and 40 years.   
      
   RN> Last month there was a most interesting article that described   
   RN> lightning travelling upward from a cloud.  That was a new one on me.   
      
   That of course is possible but lightning between clouds is common here.   
      
    HG> We are expecting a rain front, either this afternoon or night and   
      
   RN> How did that turn out?   
      
   See above, .   
      
    HG> IBM laptops are nowadays made and sold under the name Lenovo.    
      
   RN> Chinese, isn't it?   
      
   Correct but under quality control of IBM.   
      
   RN> I never saw them that small.  The ones I have are in the 4-8GB   
   RN> range.   
      
   Same here, the ones I have now are 4-16 Gb.   
      
      
   Have a nice afternoon,   
      
   Holger
