For the moment the skies look blue and the sun is visible up on the Ridge, thanks to the tireless efforts of the men and women who saved us from major problem. This year seems to have been bracketed b extremes in weather, giving us winter snow back in January and summer snow to begin this summer.

I have never seen either extreme before, but there has been a lot to remember about 2008. And I was just trying to get the helicopter visible at the top of this tree.
