I have a favor to ask of my fellow fans. I start radiation therapy tomorrow for a DCIS. Please think good thoughts (prayers if you do) for me. I feel almost guilty asking this, as I'm 95% sure of 100% cured. Like you, I REALLY want a NC this scholastic year. In all my thoughts, huskyharper. Please take care of yourself during radiation (no fun!) and let us know the good news when you get it.

Hi, Just wanted to tell you that we have decided to sell our retirement home in Guilford. It's a real emotional wrench for our family, but we aren't coming back. We are going stay in South Bend. And another one of us has settled in Denver. The cord has snapped. But I'm still a Nutmegger at heart and my blood will always run Husky blue, it's just feeling very strange... Just don't sell it to Muffett....

We have a friend going through Chemo and the sort he is having doesn't seem to be as bad as some. Hope yours goes well and isn't debilitating. Prayers sent your way.

Technically it isn't Fall yet, but it dang sure is in Montana. Well we are having one of those Fall days that we all relish and every part of the country has them. It'll be high of 72, but the sky is a vivid blue and it's 10 out of 10 on the sun burn index. Just glorious.

My phone says it is 110. Tomorrow, scheduled to be "only" 100, then dropping into the 90's.
Even the life-long Tucsonans want the heat to "go away".

One of my best friends who lives in Phoenix has had enough and is looking to move to Maryland or Virginia. Says the heat has finally broke her. And her daughter is in college in Vermont so there is that....

Like semper said, I would not last a week. If you mean in Arizona, you might be surprised. Of course, I'm all happy because I don't see any triple digits on upcoming weeks (after today, which hit 100). Nights have gotten cooler as well, into the 60's. You can make jokes that "its a dry heat", but ultimately, it (largely) is. There really is no comparison to heat with humidity. It IS hot, and I wouldn't want to have a job working in it, but considering we live in air conditioning, drive an air conditioned car, etc., etc. it really isn't that bad to be (briefly) outside. And not bad in the shade, at all.

Hey - Just want to put out there that things in my life are relatively calm for the moment. No crisis looming or happening, my loved ones are in mostly good places. I am healthy (or healthy enough for my age). The last few years have been, no lie, a living hell. But I am relishing in the "normalcy" phase I am in right now. May it continue ever on...

Great to hear Chappy! It's nice to read about good news once in a while. So much of this world is a tough place, and yours has been especially so.

And not bad in the shade, at all. I do appreciate the difference. If you're not on a river Montana is a low humidity climate. In the winter it is of course mostly drier and it makes the skiing powder wonderful and known as cold smoke.

I have visited Arizona several times and played golf on a 105 degree day in Fountain Hills, just outside Phoenix. It was a lot easier than 90 w/95% humidity in CT. I just had to remember to keep drinking water.

It is now unofficially winter here in Montana. The Beartooth Highway was closed for the season yesterday. 68 miles of highway connecting Red Lodge and Cooke City, it offers the most easterly entrance to Yellowstone. Elevation 5500 to 10,947, it's a snow magnet and can have 26 foot snow drifts. Twisty, turny in some of the most spectacular mountain scenery there is.

Montana is off the list of potential retirement locales!

Does this mean that you are stocking up and prepping hard for your area? I won't be complaining about all the rain (13.77 in September), since I don't have to shovel rain!

Seems like too much work. No longer skiing, I see approaching winter with dread, but I'm still in denial. We've had some pretty awful storms in mid-October, but predictions are for a milder winter. That could mean more mosture and more snow, but I chose to be optimistic.
