Nothing like a cold one on a hot humid day, enjoy :-)

WOW! Thank yoooou! LOL!

Yep, Dave, with tall beers like that....call the designated driver! : )

Did break down and turned on the AC yesterday. Watching that little dial on the electric meter made me dizzy.

LOL. You're not kidding!! But, so far, we haven't used our a/c this year. Our house is very well insulated and the ceiling fans and whole-house fan keep us pretty comfortable most of the time. That whole-house fan is worth it's weight in gold!

But, I'm thinking that today may be the day we finally have to break down and turn on the air. Enough is enough. LOL!

You and "the Pipster" make a great team!

Well, thank you, Sis. I think so too.

Have a nice day. (BTW, I haven't forgotten the convention pics. I will send you a link to them soon.) :-)

I don't know...you all have some wonderful writers here. I'm just kind of the 'clown' on the thread.

Hey, we love clowns around here! As you may have noticed, we're populated with quite a few of them. And there's plenty room for more at the Finest circus. ;-)

I don't think I could write a Finest feature.

Well, we'll see. Maybe when it's New Jersey's day in the spotlight you can direct us to some of the places of interest. I believe that New Jersey may be one of the states I have never visited. If I did, I was very young and it was just to drive through.

I didn't even get toast, we usually don't do an early morning meal, we wait until about 11 or 12 and eat then with a snack later if we get hungry.

Isn't this wonderful? And about time!! I, like most people, am fed up with the constant barrage of solicitors using MY phone to intrude on MY time in MY home.

Thanks for the link, dubya. I haven't been to the site yet, I am waiting for the crowds to die down. I'm sure for the next couple of weeks everyone and their brother is going to be trying to crowd in there. I don't know anyone who isn't angry over these constant solicitation calls.

Edgar Allen Poe is buried not far (about 4 blocks) from where I work. He's burried in the old Westminister churchyard on reene street in Baltimore.

Hmmmmm.....very interesting. I'm learning all kinds of new things today.

Poe was.....ummmmmmm..........a rather 'creepy' guy, wasn't he? "The Pit and the Pendulum".......and "The Tell-Tale Heart"........he wrote the stuff nightmares are made of. LOL.

[Mama_Bear]

My tummy is telling me it is lunch time. I'll be back later.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Is it this hot yet? : )

Ariving with an apology, not having 'custody' of the computer earlier, and wading through the entire thread (pant, pant..) before responding.

This series on the individual states - all qualifying as among The Finest of America - is a wonderful idea, and you've done such a great job with the presentaion, Mama_Bear and FRiend..:))

I've been in and through Maryland several times. The first was when I represented Florida in the National Spelling Bee in 1947, part of our week's tours going to The U.S. Naval Academy.

While I froze on the Mt. Vernon tour (down by bus - returned on a steamship), 47 degrees that morning and had to purchase a jacket, the one to The Academy was in the 90's or better.
Was dying of thirst, and we never found a single water fountain - at the indoor pool, I was tempted to dive in and drink!

Lived near there, Pippin, in 1955-56, in Chincoteague, Virginia, just a bit down the Eastern shore. Went to Maryland to Pokomoke City now and then, the largest town anywhere near.

LOL !!! I upload that one. ** S N I P !! **

It hit 100 about a month ago and has been in the 90s a lot this month.

Thursday last week I went with a buddy to pick up his boat to haul back to his house. It was only about 93 that day, but MAN, was I exhausted the next day or two after. The heat index must have been around 100 or more I bet.

[Dubya]

I am glad to have a no call list. I will get on it ASAP.

[Mama_Bear]

I went and registered. That was sure quick and easy. Now, I guess we will see it works. :-)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Where in the States haven't you been, pretty Lady? : )

[Mama_Bear]

..........and wading through the entire thread (pant, pant..) before responding.

Well, bless your heart. :-)

Thanks for the nice words, LadyX. I think it was Billie's idea, but since it seems to be going over quite well, I will take take credit for it too. ;-)

I am really enjoying spotlighting these states, and you can be sure, when I get to Alaska you'll be hearing from me. You will make a great tour guide. I can think of no one better to show us the sights in Alaska than LadyX. :-)

Tough! But until you're laid out on the sidewalk like that egg....the 100 degree weather is coooool. LOL

St.Louis has heat AND high humidity, now that's exhausting!
