This a two-fer ‘Breaking News’ alert. 
First and foremost, our good friend and west coast editor Eowyn has just returned from her vacation. She needs a little time to get caught up, but we should hear from her by Saturday. I wish there was a way to have a ‘Welcome Home’ party on the internet.

The second report leaves me wanting to thank everyone that drives over 25 miles per day in their Hummer sized SUV.
Global Warming has finally come to the Blue Ridge mountains of NC. Thank you!

Eowyn: Welcome back. Hope you had a nice vacation.
Gio: Enjoy your “global warming” weather.
Thanks, Muffin!
It’s great to be back on Gio’s World.
I second LMM’s emotion. It’s good to have you “back”, Eowyn.
