Snow Fluffies are returning already? It's only August! Come to think of it I have started to see a few more "Foreign" license plates and RV's. Why the early return?
Oh, those wonderful, cool, crisp nights! Memories! Beats the heck out of 100 degrees at midnight! So far we've only had a couple of those! Thank Heavens!

I suspect the early return has a lot to do with gas prices and the market speculation due to the Mideast wars which is/are driving up the cost of crude. The returnees are anticipating even higher prices and for many of us fulltime RVers, fuel prices have become THE limiting factor in our travel plans, not to mention daily living - none of our pensions have more than tripled in three years to match the gas increases. Just three years ago, I was griping because gas had gone up to $1.69/gal from $1.02 in just a couple months; now, I'm happy when I can get it at $2.87 in Flagstaff (where one station is at $3.17; down the road in Williams, it's a bargain at $3.37). I had planned to return to Labrador (4500 miles one way) in summer 2007; now, I'll be lucky to return to northern Arizona.

That makes sense Fred! I remember Mom and Dad pumping what? 60 gallons or so in one fill-up into their Motorhome and that's when fuel was 1/3 or less than it is now. Oh yippee - early return of the Snow Fluffies! Oops, you're a Snow Fluffy of sorts!!!!!! ;-0000

Ditto here, Deb. I didn't notice it until you pointed it out and it's been almost two weeks since your original post (OK, I'm a litle slow catching up with the Main Coin Forum). But, it certainly reflects the sentiment of the group. We are indeed a family complete with occasional disagreements, but we always kiss and make up (electronically, of course).
I call dibs on the attic!  |

Glad to hear you are coming back early Fred.
We still got to get together out here and in late sept is when my business starts to pick up so I hope we can schedule some time.

You mean so we can organize the Arizona Chapter of WINS (World Internet Numismatic Society for those not [yet] in the loop). We can have a constitution, election of officers (all 4 or 5 of us AZ WINS), collect dues, form a volunteer fire department, get a PTA going, and hold demonstrations protesting the West Nile Virus and figure out what fish to introduce into the Arizona Central Project  . We'll do lunch in September. Steve, look for an email from me as the date gets closer. Fred |
