Hi Everyone:

Thanks for the nice word on the last picture. The "mountain" that is in the distance, mid picture on right (next to the trees) is Cadillac Mountain in the heart of Acadia National Park. It is the highest point of the east coast of the Americas until you get down to Rio de Janeiro and its Corcovado Mountain.

Pepper - hope the truck is not expensive to fix.
Billyporter - yes the storms can be impressive. It is the wind that comes off the ocean, usually when a "nor'easter" comes up the coast. 60 mph winds are not uncommon and sometimes hurricane force winds. The forest is remarkable protection - and as the wind goes over the tops it sounds like a jet engine. I am about 100 feet back from the water, it is wooded but when the leaves are off I can see the water sparkling. I have access to the shore, but that really doesn't matter because except in high summer I am the only person here.

kwanjin - baby clothes?
