:lol: Hi, Lemon! And Richie, too!

Hi how are things above the 49th parallel? We had another hot and
icky sticky one here in the Susquehanna Valley.


Doesn't Postpaleo live in Pennsylvania, too? And he was complaining it's too cold. How big is that state??


It takes a while to go north to south and we're both about at the extremes. I'm only 2 miles from the New York State line. Not so much the difference in distance. I live in what is known as the Glaciated Allegheny Plateau, we're higher in elevation. The last glacier ended not to far from me. It wasn't my fault, I might be old, but it wasn't me, honest, true story. The temp difference when you get just an hour or so away to the south is something you can actually see. The flowers and leaves are out, while everything is still stark here. Get to Richies area and it's even more pronounced.

I am about 20 miles north of the Maryland border, I've ridden my bicycle to Md many times on the Rail-Trail that runs from
York, PA to Cockeyesville, Md a 40 mile trip each way. Cockeyesville is a little over 20 miles south of the border with PA.

Save the Bay.

Can't do much to save the bay except act locally up here by helping out with the Codorus Creek Conservationists,
the Codorus empties into the Susquehanna and from thence into Chesapeake Bay.
There are other groups dealing with Connewago Creek and other watersheds farther north.

I lurk about here EVERY DAY you all. :shameonyou: Would it be more proper of me to mention my lurking? If so I'v read every post since page 289 or so I think, and I usually catch up on everything every night after work.

It's better up here. I'm near the Tioga (translates to "5 points") River (north flowing, not common since the glacier's and polluted with mine waste) which forms the Chemung with another. The Chemung (translates to "one Horn or place of horns, because the mammoth tusks would appear in the river) has some size and meets the Susquehanna (translates "muddy current") further east from me, Athens. Enforcing the pollution laws here now, the Chemung is actually fish-able now and if it weren't for the damns on the Susquehanna, the eels would return. The old mines that pollute the Tioga are no longer owned by the companys as they went out of business, before they started the strip mining. The only real hope is if the State steps in and that ain't gonna happen. But it is getting a little better.

Any thing fun to do in Cockeyesville? Is that where all the Optimists are from? :lol: My husband is a cyclist. I use to ride with him but he always wants to make a marathon out of it and I just like to take my good old time and stop to look at flowers or plants. Once he took off and left me on a trail and I came to a section that forked in three directions. Had no clue which trail to take and waited there crying like a baby. He finally came back for me but I haven't been biking since. I can be such a wimp at times.

I'm familiar with the Chemung and we do our shopping in Athens.

I finally caught up with you. I'm going out one door and you are coming in another. :D Pennsylvania has always been vedy vedy good to me. Just joking. It does have a lot of geographical diversity.

I read that Sandy Denny fell down the stairs and suffered a brain hemorage. I wish Alex would give us a spell checker, but maybe it's a good thing that we have to try and figure it out to get rid of the red line or else get the dictionary. I'm too tired to do either so hemorhage (nope, that's not it either) will just have to be misspelled.

:lol: :lol: It's bad no matter how you spell it. I read about her from Postie's link that he posted. And yep, here I go again with post this and Postie that! :roll:

Get google task bar, when you install it you have some options, I just go bare bone, I dunno why, maybe I just like the name bare bone. Anyways, it has a spell checker, I hate most spell checkers, this is a good one, you can add slang to it. Very easy to use, when I rmember to, like now I'm just going to ignore it
