    MR> I know what You mean. I had to drive down to Elmira after being east   
    MR> of Rochester. Went down 14 on some beautiful country roads, but it was   
    MR> raining much of the time. I kept running into areas, where I got into   
    MR> the Hills down south, that were flooding pretty good and state police   
    MR> kept rerouting us. Nothing catastrophic, but it was raining pretty   
    MR> good Tuesday.   
      
    NB> Got some extra sight-seeing in along the way, eh...?  :)  What you   
    NB> could see through the drops, anyway...   :)   
      
   I love our Southern tier. Every chance I get to go down, I love it.   
   Shame it is during work, but I *do* keep the old peepers open enjoying   
   it when I can. Never been down to Elmira that way, and it was pretty   
   neat seeing all the vineyards and such. The countryside, even in the   
   rain is majestic.   
       
      
    NB> I don't think it's all that early for the early leaves to be turning.   
    NB> It just always seems too early to me, every year... and then I realize   
    NB> we really are just about to fall after all... :)   
       
   Yesterday as of 10 something I believe...   
      
    MR> after the long winter?   
      
    NB> They both are temperate seasons, and a relief after the extremes of   
    NB> winter and summer...  :)  And both beautiful, each in its own way,   
    NB> whether the riotous colors of the spring flowers or the riotous colors   
    NB> of the turning leaves...  :)   
      
   Gotta luv it. As age crept up, Winter is not as fun, but I actually do   
   like my seasons.   
      
    NB> As for getting up in the dark... I don't like that either... which is   
    NB> why I argue for standard time to be all year round rather than having   
    NB> to deal with Daylight Stealing Time...  I keep hearing proposals to   
    NB> have DST all year round, but I'd MUCH prefer Standard Time year round   
    NB> instead.  We'll need to use lights at one end of the day or the other   
    NB> anyway, and I need the natural light to get moving in the morning.    
      
   I know.. it is so stupid. there is no benefit from it, in fact I believe   
   last year they proved it even costs more money. For a supposed energy   
   concious regime in Washington, that does not seem to matter. I don't   
   know anyone who likes it, and I don't see the need for it any more.   
      
   Have a good One!   
   Mike
