Altair~ it's doing much the same up here in the Not-so-frozen North. a couple of days ago, it was about zero or even a bit colder when i got up in the morning. yesterday, the temperature got up to 26F. today, it's at 41 and it has been raining like blazes -- started as a bit of freezing ice pellets last night, but it's been raining heavy on and off most of the day. windy too -- wind out of the southwest. if it keep up like this for a few more hours, the ground will probably be bare in the fields by tomorrow. so much water on top of the ice around here that i will hate to see what it's like when this starts to freeze up again... friends in Nova Scotia have been telling me that they really haven't had much (if any) winter yet this year. people there have been getting a few Orioles and other "summer birds" coming to their feeders all winter. strange weather, indeed. ~croc

a19, Now there's an image! Good for you and Clapper for the exercise/weight loss programs. I'm on one myself since 1/1/06. I looked my 8-year-old in the eye and told her that she's going to see her Dad thin for the first time this year. For me, making an overt commitment to another person helps a lot with accountability issues. Down 14 so far, pants fit much better. The scary part is that losing 14 makes it WAY too clear how many more I need to drop. <G/NG> Keep up the good work and the status reports; they're helping me out here. jpg
