Thank You!, Phil, as I appreciate your taking the time to stop and comment. Are we still able to see the top of your home from across the lake or are you inundated by snow? You can send some of that chill down here where are high is 85 and low is 76 with morning showers and 5-10mph tradewinds, and this is the forecast for the rest of the week! The humidity was at 74 yesterday ... ugh!!Wally Orlowsky October 15, 2004
