The last note I have seen in this echo was July 12. While since then we've ha >a glorious summer, a hunting season and 4" of wet snow on September 24, nu on
has had anything to say.
It is this quiet which is lesding me to say 'Goodbye' to Fidonet. I get more tan enough email and messages on Facebook to keep me occupied and running my
events is now for the most part a waste of time. So on October 1, I'll have m
node shut down and call it a day.
It's been 22 years almost to the day and that may be long enough.
We've had quite a summer, and now fall is still very warm.. along
with more rain and flash floods :(
We really need things to dry out over here.. October is coming, and temperatures are still up in the high 70F's. I won't be sad about
that though <grin>
We will miss you if you decide to leave Steven!
facebook is ok, though not very personal I find. One can't fine
messages easily either unless they're private to you.

Our August here was cold and wet and if my wife and I had not escaped to
British Columbia for two weeks, I would have been very upset. But the weather
in B. C. was warm and dry.

We're getting to the point where 50░ would be a heat wave. Snow is predicted for tomorrow.

Thank you for that.

But FB does offer a GUI which meant that I could see pictures of my niece's wedding which I had to mess as I had cataract surgery at the same time.
In any case, I'll think on it.

I used to dial the Swishers' "Litterbox BBS" several times a day. Now I only check this occasionally.
My brother, who lives in Vancouver with his wife, tells me weather
there is genereally nice. It sounds like a great area. Looks like
it as well from the pictures he's sent me <grin>
That's cold :( :( but thankfully it's much too early for snow
here..
Sure, it was good to see some of my cousins post on facebook as
well.. Gui or not, I don't think I could convince them to join
Fidonet, or log in as a user <vbg>

Vancouver is certainly warmer than it is here but it can get quite damp in the
winter. But your brother won't have told you that. :-)

So far so good. The snow is staying away and the weather the last few days has been quite reasonable.

I may have to find a BBS which carries Fido as using a Virtual Box as I now do
is a bit unwieldy.

Just like everything now a days, now even message bases are getting too
commercialized. As this occurs things get less and less personal. Unfortunatel
it is a fact of life we must contend with.
Btw you want warm? Down here Tuesday we hit about 95 degrees, right now at 3:38am it's still 77 degrees outside and when the sun starts to come up we'll hit 80 degrees before 9am, and this is after we started our cool down, last month at this time we had triple digit temperatures. I so love it down here, much better then dealing with the snow and ice I grew up with in Ohio.
He did :) Matter of fact, when we were living in Louisville, KY,
my brother thought Louisville's rainy damp winters reminded him of Vancouver <grin> I remember we both laughed at what they called
'winter storms' in Louisville compared to what my brother and I
grew up with in Warwick NY. :) In Louisville, the grass stuck up
out of the snow most times when we'd get snow. He said it was about
the same in Vancouver :)
It's been in the 60's here all week.. nice but not too cold.. now
this weekend the prediction is for Saturday 72F and on Sunday,
79F.. with high 70's through Tuesay.. will be nice if it sticks
around, but I doubt it will.

I'm sure there are a number of bbs where you can do that.
You can use the web interface here, go to http://www.filegate.net:8080/bbbs You register as new user by
clicking on the New User prompt on the very far right of the
screen. It's not the nicest web interface I've seen, but it does
make message areas accessible in a gui.. You can enter messages and
save them, and you can download qwk packets, but you can't upload replies.. sadly.. I may try again to get that working .. I wasn't successful the first time I tried. :(

Vancouver's snow is wet and thick. Things dopn't stick out of it but it does not last lonmg.
The snow has stayed away so far but ourview is toward a range of hills and you
can see the snow line creeping down.

Enjoy what you can when you can. :-) I'm off to warmer climes in two weeks.

I'd have no luck either. All my Fidonet software is legacy stuff and will run
under Windows 7 only in a VM.

There are but how do I keep mymoderatopr's node address?

Thanks for the offer. I will take a look.
