    We are just experiencing the first cold days of Autumn, trees are
    changing colour and the rain is falling. Spring is far away.
    

    The ideal life -- swap hemispheres every six months?

    Aw come on Judy it has been great the last few days I've already
    got a good start on my tan. Shame is you are probably right.
    I hate the GD skeeters, down on my end of town a medium size one
    carried off a small dog and was shot down with anti-aircraft by
    fort carson when it refused to land after invading their airspace.
    Many ;^)'s

    -.1  Peter, Sorry about that!  I keep forgetting everybody reading
    this may not be in the northern hemisphere.  Did you have a good
    summer while it lasted?
    
    -.2  Jerry, I too worked on my tan somewhat during the last weekend
    and during the week, but...it's snowing today!  I even walked up
    to CXO3 to give blood Thursday in the 80 degree weather.  It was
    nice while it lasted but I'd like it to be decent for more than
    a week so we wouldn't have the opportunity to lose our tans!

    I was all ready to say how awful it is here in NH, with 45 degree/
    grey/ rainy weather since Wednesday, and the forecast the same for
    the next several days; but then the sun came out this afternoon,
    the temperature went up into the sixties, and suddenly spring
    seems possible again.  Thank heavens the weather service can
    make mistakes!

    Re: .3  Judy,  I had a reasonable summer, several commitments (work
    among others) and the sweet summer rain kept me from the beach more
    than I would prefer. 

    w/e 9/10 April : Planes diverted from Heathrow because of
    impenetratable blue fug from W.London barbeques, ergo 'tis spring.
    
    Constant monitoring of garden tree foliage density underway until
    required neighbour shielding factor reached. Planting Indian Balsam
    in perimeter gaps (7', dense, grows like a weed (is a weed) and
    has smashing flowers).

    You folks need to come to Tempe Az..   We have already had a couple
    of days of 100 degree weather and the nightly lows are only 60 deg.
    Personaly I will be glad when summer is over.

    It must be spring.  May Day was this weekend, and with it, right
    on schedule, came the black flies.

    It's going to be in the  70's here in Massachusetts today...

    It must be spring !
    
    Spring time to me is when we finally get all those gorgeous days
    of sunshine during the week, and we're trapped inside the office.
    Then on the weekends, it rains !  At least, that's the way the 
    weather has been here for the past week.

    re:.10
    
        Yep, that makes it officially spring!!
    
    Tom

    Its now Spring in Australia, so my family and I spent the afternoon at
    the beach. There was a cool breeze blowing so not everyone was nude,
    but many were. There were even a few people in swimming (including my 7
    year old daughter, and three women who fell out of a boat). We caught
    up with some friends from previous visits, and generally enjoyed
    ourselves.
    
Peter    

You sure can tell the weather is cold for most folks.  Activity in this file 
drops off tremendously.  I am one that doesn't care for winter...too chilly to 
run around without much on unless you are submerged in some warm-spring water!

Almost a week ago (Dec 21st) we had our shortest day of 1988 (in the northern
hemisphere).  Now, if the days could get longer quicker, I'd be alot happier! 
;-)  Wishing all a Happy and Safe New Year!  

Judy

    all I want to know is when it'll be warm enough to head to the 
    beach...!

    But you haven't lived if you haven't thrown yourself nude into a
    snowbank after a heavy workout on the stationary bicycle!
    

    
       Has there ever been anything like a c/o cruise to the Caribean?
    Then who would care how cold it is here??????????????????/
    
    Wil

Well, it is officially the first day of Spring in the northern hemisphere.
Has anybody else started dragging out the beach towels, suntan lotion and
sunglasses?  :-)

Actually I want it to be summer!  Less chance of snow occurring in summer...
Maybe I should just move to Phoenix, Arizona.  ;^)

Judy

    I've been out sunbathing in my yard several times already - God,
    I've missed feeling the sun all over my body, even if it could only
    be for a little while (no major burns just yet, please :^) ).

    Spring's a comin soon !
    
    In Ontario Canada, we have recently had temperatures up to 11 degress
    Celcius  :-)  , almost all of the snow is gone, and we're expecting
    thunderstorms for tonight.
    
    It's hard to believe that only 2 weeks ago, we were having our second
    worse snow storm of the year, and hitting record breaking lows of
    up to -15 degrees Celcius for this time of year.   Oh yes, we've
    had quite a few flies in our facility show up !  It must be spring.
    
    Ohhh sun, come warm me up !
    
    Darrell
    

    Time to go into hibernation here, the temperature is dropping and
    the rain clouds are gathering, see you *all* next spring.

Is it feeling like Spring to everyone?  We've been having some really nice 
weather here in Colorado.  The last couple weekends, I've sat out on the 
front porch, sunned my face and hands and read a book.  Temps have been in 
the high 60's.  There was a slight breeze but it was still comfortable.  I 
had on a loose knit sweater yesterday which allowed the sun to make it thru 
to the skin on my chest.  Bob was jealous!  ;-)  I just wish they'd make
tan thru jeans!  :-)

Judy

    
    
    It must be spring. 
    
    The temprature hasn't gone below -5 in a week!!!! 
    Sunday daytime hi temp in Burlington - 26 wind chill = -2.

    RE: -.1
    
    Gots a trip out West to talk to a vendor in San Diego...
    Told them that it'd be cheaper put me up for Saturday night
    and fly me back Sunday than it would to fly me back Friday night
    or Saturday morning...what a sacrifice I'm making...:-)
    
    Anyways, anyone want to meet at Black's Beach on Saturday, let me 
    know. :-)

    It got up to 96 degrees F, here in beautiful Austin, Tx., home of Hippy
    Hollow and Barton Springs Pool, just last week. It is about 60 or 70
    something today.

    Did you get to the beach often Peter, to take advantage of your
    good summer weather?  Do you get a dry heat or sticky, humid,
    yucko stuff?
    
    Sue

Had a nice taste of Spring while on vacation last week in Houston...just think
I said to my friend whom I was visiting, only 2 more months til we get this
in New England :^(







Jim

re .29

We went to the beach reasonable often, never as much as I'd like to ;-) There
is alway so much else to do!

I have also been keeping up my lunchtime swims (nude) in the nearby Lane Cove
river. 

Notes 21.8, and 21.9 have some more information about this summer.

I hope to get to Birdie beach, with another DECie some time before winter sets
in. I'll write a report on that, if he dosn't beat me to it.

Peter.

    
    Jeez..where is everybody today?  It's too quiet.
    
    We, in New England, are looking at a great weekend coming up .. sunny
    and about 80.  I'm certainly going to take advantage of it!!
    
    Sue

I hear there's a crowd going up to the Ledges on Saturday...

I was hoping there'd be someone to take Judy up there while she's here...

B.

    
    It's the long drive (2.5 hours for me) that's always kept me 
    from going up there. 
    
    Sue

I'm booked this weekend, but making tentative plans for the Ledges next week-
end..its a 2 + hour drive for me, but I love it.



Anybody else going next week?






Jim

    As we in the GMA prepare for our first big snowstorm of the
    season, Spring sure seems a long way off.  Happy February
    everybody :-}
    
    Sue

Its hot here, and I'm stuck inside, but summer is drawing to a close....:-(

Peter.

    Hi Peter,
    
    It was 4 below zero in downtown Douglas (MA) this morning when
    I left home and what is it today where you are .. 90+ ??
    
    Sue

Sounds wonderful....the dip and your weather!  :-)

We've been having unusually warm and pleasant weather but I understand we are
due for a storm that will keep most of our nuding indoors.  :-(  Come on 
summer!  Sorry Peter!  ;-)

Judy

    
    .36 Hi neighbor, and I mean that in more ways than one. We are both 
    iin Marlboro and 2nd because we're separated only by the town of 
    Uxbridge where we live.
    
    Anyway I do believe alot of people are hibernating in hopes of an early
    spring. Kinda hard to imagine when I look out at the ice upon the pool
    YUK!!!;-(
    
    Well, guess I'll get back to it. hello to everyone and hope to see
    more activity in here soon!!
    
    Wil

    Well, it is well and truely spring ... it is doing a bit of showering
    at the moment (April showers bring May flowers!) but it is supposed to
    climb to 70 degrees F tomorrow ..... Hurrah!
    
    Serenity

So are there any local activities planned?
