Good morning/evening Vagabonds. Happy Thursday. Slim, I am always interested in your stories/poetry/music, etc. Oh yeah, I knew you were in the Mountain Time zone and that AZ doesn’t recognize DST. I guess I just was trying to shorten the comment, since you and I are (for the summer anyway) at the same time. And, I heartily agree. There’s no real reason for DST, except maybe to pi$$ off the farmers.
JanCin….. A happy B’day to both your Dad and your cousin.I’ll hit 80 on 9/10. Lordy, but the time is going by so fast now.Yes, I was up in the Sierra Nevadas, mostly the mid-foothills 2000-4ooo feet ASL. But the “Annals of King’s Hill” is not likeany of those I’ve written up til now. And it is all true. Maybe another side of Slim?
Good morning, VagaBonds!Another late night at the fire pit……..it takes so long to get really dark, but the camp fire during that time makes up for the lack of star gazing. We saw 8 satellites and 2 meteorites. Woo Hoo!! Space Station won’t be around until July 27th.
I have a question for SweetBill, VistaBill, and dkram……….We’ve been talking about maybe going to Raleigh in the middle of October to see the family, and then spending 4 days or so driving up to see the tree colors. Can you advise us as to when the typical fall colors set it, and some areas to see them in that are NOT “tourist hot spots”. Thanks
@ML- The colors are at peak different every year. We won’t know till Sept or so because it’s so weather related. Also, it depends where your traveling , NY, Vermont, MASS. etc., but will send updates in Fall.
Glad to hear you guys are coming east again .. I’ll be closing the cottage here on Lake Ontario and heading home in Oct. sometime to Savannah, but will keep you updated when summer /fall starts the change over for the NE.

Happy birthday to my Dad. He would have been 88 today. Also to my cousin Brenda who was born on his 36th birthday.
