She managed to arrange for fog on Storm King mtn. last Friday as we drove around it.

Actually, I prefer only nice dry weather to make that drive. But it is very pretty up there. I hope there was enough clearing in the fog for you to have views of Hell's Gate - the passage of the Hudson through the mountains. Otherwise, you're simply going to have to go there again! ;^

Is it sunny and warm anywhere??

Sun? What's that?

[Molly Pitcher]

No way could we see that vista you mention, so yes, another visit is in order. LOL!

Back later...

Come on down here, and Floridians will show you :>)

And it's HOT too!

We have our huge thunderstorms mostly in the evening.....after sweltering through hot, steamy, muggy, humid days....

Very good article from a former Rosenberg supporter who finally saw the light: STILL GUILTY (Rosenbergs)

[Redleg Duke]

Major milestone! We had our first barbeque on our new deck last night...before the rains.

The house is still a mess, but we are gaining on it...anyone need about a half a million used moving boxes?

[Redleg Duke]

Yeah, it is going to be called "The Sominex Hour"!

The trick is to organize two or three workers in each precinct. A few weeks before the election, working from the voter registration lists and previous lists, they contact voters to urge them to vote.

I do not disagree with you.

Sadly, it is next to impossible, in this day and age, to make this system work. Why? Not only because there just aren't enough motivated people left out there who are willing to make those calls, but also because if EACH candidate on the ballot uses this system, the voters are still swamped with calls, and the voters still get honked off the last week before the election with calls from each candidates organization.

Yes, each County and State Party COULD organize and implement a program of this kind. But getting the candidates to agree to cooperate, and NOT swamp the voteres with calls, recorded messages, what have you is just not going to happen.

I've spent the last 15 years inside the WAR ROOMS of various campaigns. The biggest problem I see with the entire system is the "White Knights" sent in at the last two weeks to attempt to save a campaign. Generally, they screw things up so badly, it can't be saved. LOCAL people, who understand the locality, should be making the last minute decisions.

I've seen more candidacies tanked in the last 10 days of a campaign because of some outside EXPERT, who doesn't understand the local mindset, than I care to think about.

All Politics is Local. And successful campaings are local, too.

What works in a metropolitan area does not work in a rural area.

Speaking of the liberal media: Andrew Sullivan: Shocking Silence (The left on Iran)

[Carolinamom]

Washington Prowler: Hillary's Captive Readers.......Gotta Sell Those 1,600,000 Books Somehow

[Radix]

Gee, Kerry gave a speech, and he did not mention that he was a Viet Nam Veteran.

Oh, he did mention it.

Never mind!

[gulfcoast6]

YES, sunny and HOT, so hot you walk out the door and sweat like a 'lady of the evening' in a church service.

[Dog]

I see we had another attack this morning on our troops.....this time on an ambulance...its time we stop this PC crap in Iraq and take off the gloves.

They want to fight dirty .....two can play at their game.....announce the next time a US soldier is wounded or killed we round up the whole village and hold them until they ID the killer.

Let Human Rights Watch scream about that!

[gulfcoast6]

First the flag, now the Rebel mascoct, next the fight song of the Ole Miss Rebels Dixie will go, what next and it is all on a Democract Governor's watch. I know, ban history, lets pretend the civil war never happened, it was all made up for the sole purpose of degrading certain folks, its all a dream.

[gulfcoast6]

All is fair in love and war, it hasn't ended yet so lets get with the program.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

I read that article about getting rid of Colonel Reb. Hopefully, the alumni quoted in the article as vowing to withhold future donations hold the administration's feet to the fire. The line has to be drawn on this PC nonsense, and Ole Miss would be a great place to start.
