Good morning GH.  Another beautiful day is dawning here in GH.  The sun is shining, the current temperature is  53 degrees and Sugar the Weather Dog is still comfortably asleep.  All is well as I gaze out the Weather Window.  We just got back yesterday from a short trip to Beaver Island, MI, and it was very relaxing.  Only one television station came in, which kept us away from the usual junk television.  The ecosystem was as diverse as could be.  A small island, 6 1/2 X 12 miles in size, but it had numerous variances with many lakes lakes, marshes, and vegetation.  In addition, the weather was great, except for the allergies from a wave of pollen due to its more northern location.  All in all, a great pleasure.  We had a beach to walk on that was over a mile in length, and due to the off-season timing, all to ourselves.  Even Sugar the Weather Dog had a good time, unless you count the ferry trips to and from.  We saw deer, coyotes, wild turkeys and not many people.  Gasoline is $4.99 per gallon, and that is for regular unleaded, the only option. We didn't have to buy any.  Food is more expensive, due to the need to transport it by air or ferry, but that is to be expected.  We did rent some Videos at the gas station, and that kept us entertained along with learning about chess and playing scrabble.  I managed to read two books and that in itself was all good.  Otherwise, it is now...Tea time.
