    MH> I plan on waiting a few more weeks before doing the yearly leaves   
    MH> cleanup. Most are down, but there are still some left on certain trees   
    MH> - plus the other neighbors who don't clean up their yards.  Typically,   
    MH> I will blow them all out of the gardens, etc, into the yard and then   
    MH> mulch them up with the mower. Then blow the mulch into the woods.    
      
   As long as you don't get another early snow storm... especially a major   
   one...  ;0   
      
    MH> It has been going back and forth between cold and semi-warm here.  I   
    MH> have not worn a coat yet (probably one of the few people that has   
    MH> not).  I normally hold out for the first big snow.  My car heats up   
    MH> fast too, so I don't bother with coats that often.    
      
   I'm only wearing my spring/fall lightweight "hoodie", mostly when it's   
   raining, if anything.  Haven't switched to the heavier sweatshirt-type   
   hoodie that I wear for most of the winter yet...  I've got a proper   
   (Canadian-made) down coat that I can wear if it gets really cold, but   
   I've come to save that for when we get extended below 0degreesF weather.   
   Like you, my car heats up fast, and I'm usually only going between it   
   and overheated houses, or properly heated office buildings...

   PS  As to the bbs...  ok, I managed to set the Quickscan stuff.  Now...   
   neither QWK door works...  The one with the // command to get to it,   
   just whisks the screen by too fast to see when one tries to get a   
   download started.  The other one (WWIV-whatever) gave me an error   
   message about either not having enough space to compress or not being   
   able to find the compression program.  Also, the screen from the Main   
   Menu that is supposed to show the // commands also whisks by too fast to   
   be seen... maybe needs a pause attached...?        neb
