January and February '08 in a
beautiful house overlooking the Hudson River just 20 minutes from
Manhattan?

Does it come with a snowplow? snowblower? assortment of shovels??

Just checking....(c;

Larry,

Not needed, it's getting warmer all the time .

When I call back to my home town, Moravia, NY, I always ask, "What day
was Summer this year?"....(c;

It's just as hot in Moravia as it is Charleston, SC, where I live. It's
just not as COLD during those other days....and we have air conditioning,
not fans blowing the hot air around like I grew up with. "We don't need
air conditioning.", they always tell me during the 2.5 months the
temperature in upstate NY is 95F and the humidity is 99.98%.

Nonsense....

You must have grown up in a different upstate NY than I did. On the
shores of Lake Ontario in July and August there were many days when we
had a fire in the wood stove and extra blankets at night. I've seen
snow in the Adirondacks on Labor Day weekend.

Up on the big lake is much cooler because the water doesn't warm than
days off in the valleys where the air flows over them. Moravia is
nestled in between two 800' hills in the Owasco Valley in the Finger
Lakes. In Summer, the air just stops, dead, shielded by the hills, and
the valleys get very hot. My father worked for Smith-Corona making
typewriters in Groton, NY, in an unairconditioned sweatshop for many
years. That was one hot place because of the manufacturing machinery and
furnaces in it. Half the valley worked there as there wasn't much else
to do but dairy farming, which is worse.

It's a great place to be FROM....(c;

Did you ever know Walt Taylor? He was on top of one of those hills
with a big tower and a big signal to go with it.

Nope. I moved away in 1964, never to return. Anything that happened after
that is way past my time. I was there from 1946, after Daddy got back from
N Africa fighting Rommel, to 1964....when the gummit unsuccessfully tried
to draft me for Vietnamese Cannon Fodder to make the contractors rich, like
Iraq.
