I haven't been to Mackinac Bridge in years. I had know idea people actually walked it. Rumor has it that if you mispronounce "Mackinac", you get thrown from the bridge!  Signor V.

Some awesome pictures there Lilo.  A lot of beautiful country here in the U.S. I haven't been to Mackinac Bridge in years. I had know idea people actually walked it.  My parents took us kids up that way on several vacations. Thanks TIS I've been up to the UP just a few times-only once that I remember- and it was very nice.

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Lilo, Ha ha!! I have relatives (brother-in-law, nephews) who live by that "gospel."  Matter of fact, nephew has a cabin in the UP and I think is up there now for whatever the hunting season is in September. TIS

First chilly day here -- 50°F out -- and it was kinda chilly inside. I had to do it. Thankfully I have natural gas heat (as opposed to the electric A/C which really adds up fast)... so I'm set at 69° With a split-level house, I need to adjust the thermostat kinda often. It's main floor, and half-level up and half-level down from there. It seems to be at least a 4° difference each level, so a normal 72° main level means hot upstairs and cool downstairs -- so it depends where I'm spending my time. And to think just a couple days ago I had the A/C on! 
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

In other news... My effing mouse clicks 0/1/2 times every time I click it, and it's driving me CRAZY! I can deal with the 0/1, but the 2-clicks per click is infuriating! Had the problem a few months ago, and Logitech sent me a new mouse. All was just FINE... for a few weeks... then it started again. Now it's bad again! Not sure WTF the problem is, but it makes being online very difficult.

It seems to be at least a 4° difference each level, so a normal 72° main level means hot upstairs and cool downstairs -- so it depends where I'm spending my time. Consider putting in a two zone system. It may cost you $3,000 or more but in the long run it's a lot more convenient and you'll save some bucks eventually.

Mouse problem solved: Got a new one. Hopefully this one will last more than 2 months.

Had to re-read it. I was reading "with my wife, Mary Cas". That would be a thread in itself. Kly, Happy Anniversary to you and your wife. You both should feel very proud of all the years you've been together. It is so rare these days. Best wishes to both of you. Are you taking her to the same restaurant? TIS

TIS Both places are still there, but we live a few hours away now. Since this is only the anniversary of our first date, we don't do anything usually. Tonight she's going out with some friends and I'll stay home and watch the Steeler game with my sons. My older boy is home from college today for fall break. I'm wondering if she remembers, to tell you the truth.

This past August it was 39 years since my future wife took out her first restraining order against me. But, she eventually figured that the only remedy was to marry me. How romantic. TIS
