[at-l] It's Beginning to Look A Lot like Christmas,

[HikingHope@aol.com]

but not up here in the Rockies.  I'm not unhappy though, because I still have 
standing snow, and it is neat being able to go outside to collect twigs for 
kindling in preparation for the next blast.

What I am happy about is the weather map, which says that you in the 
Appalachian area are going to get the snow/rain that I am not going to get.  
Let's build up that water level, the best gift your area can receive at this 
time.  

And it gives faith, faith that hard times (drought) do eventually end, which 
is my hope for you in the New Year/Century.

So "Merry Christmas!" now because my AOL is acting funny, the way it does 
when everybody in the universe seems to be online at once--as at Christmas 
time.
