I'd like to ask a favor of posters here. Several times lately, someone
has mentioned their weather. I have a hard time remembering where people
live. When mentioning weather, it would be kind to those of us who aren't
as young as we used to be if you'd give a clue as to approximately where
you live. :-)

Don't believe everything you think




East Texas--and it was 100+ degrees F today. And humid. Incredibly hot!

Despite that, it is beautiful--huge trees and beautiful flowers.

I'm glad there is some beauty to make up for the misery. At least that sort
of weather would make me miserable.

I usually remember everyone's location - that's one thing I *do*
remember, when I often forget all sorts of other things. Whenever I
see someone's name, I immediately imagine the location where they
are, and where their location is in relation to me. It's an unconscious
habit - I don't try to remember locations, it just pops into my mind
whenever someone posts or emails me, or when I think of that person.

However, I didn't remember your location - I always thought of you as
being in the midwest for reason. Maybe I never knew to begin with. One
thing that does happen is, if for some reason I get the wrong information
about someone's location, I will imagine them in the wrong location
whenever I think of them. Then when I find out where they really are,
I sometimes can't make the change in my head. So I might always picture
a midwestern state whenever I see your posts, even though I now know
the facts.

Years ago someone made a map of the world where we posted our location.
I have often wondered what happened to those posters. I've changed
computers several times since then and now can't remember how to reach
that link. I wish I had the skills to start another one, but I do not.

That might be. I even imagine the midwest when I think of Holly and
Duffy! (And I'm sure *they* never grew up in Ohio!)

Nope. They are Texans--but they don't have a Texas accent.

Oh, yes! I remember that now. I'd forgotten. It was handy.

True. It is so hot during part of the summer that it really is miserable.
Thank goodness for air conditioning! On the other hand, we have *wonderful*
weather most of the year--nice outdoorsy temps in the fall, winters where I
don't even need a jacket the majority of the time, and very long, balmy
spring weather with the most amazing azaleas, dogwood, etc. I have some
flowers that will bloom all winter, and even the unusual snow last winter
did not stop the snapdragons that were in bloom.

Perhaps you picture the midwest because I grew up in northeast Ohio, and I
have mentioned that in some messages.

Mary,

What part of Northeastern Ohio? I grew up there as well.

That is the last one for sure. My skeleton head is still there over
Utah. As I remember, the first one had quite a few more posted on it.
Thanks for posting and best wishes How is the volcano acting at this
time? MLB
