That's more than uncomfortable, it's "excessive heat." Hard to think that I have nothing to complain about when suffering under temps in the eighties, dew points well past seventy, and sticky everything.</p> <p>Seattle's all-time record high. Wonder when -- in this extreme-weather-event century -- that'll be broken. Meanwhile, sorry to all the wilters out there.</p> <p>And be sure to get that heat cleared out well before the twelfth so my visit isn't stifled!</p> http://www.aves-specta.com/node/307#comment offerings Thu, 30 Jul 2009 18:36:53 -0700 scott 307 at http://www.aves-specta.com http://www.aves-specta.com/node/306 <div class="block-cell"><div class='fullslide' style='width: 160px;'> <div class='outer' style='width: 140px; height: 140px;'> <span></span> <a href="http://www.aves-specta.com/node/306"><img src="//www.aves-specta.com/files/active/0/306_thumb.jpg" alt="Family Portrait 2006" title="Family Portrait 2006" class="acidfree" /></a> </div> <div>Family Portrait 2006</div> </div> </div><br /> http://www.aves-specta.com/node/306#comment offerings Wed, 29 Jul 2009 11:17:34 -0700 scott 306 at http://www.aves-specta.com http://www.aves-specta.com/node/301 <div class="block-cell"><div class='fullslide' style='width: 160px;'> <div class='outer' style='width: 140px; height: 140px;'> <span></span> <a href="http://www.aves-specta.com/node/301"><img src="//www.aves-specta.com/files/active/1/301_thumb.jpg" alt="w5vq-back" title="w5vq-back" class="acidfree" /></a> </div> <div>w5vq-back</div> </div> </div><br /> http://www.aves-specta.com/node/301#comment MISC offerings Tue, 05 May 2009 19:00:22 -0700 scott 301 at http://www.aves-specta.com http://www.aves-specta.com/node/300 <div class="block-cell"><div class='fullslide' style='width: 160px;'> <div class='outer' style='width: 140px; height: 140px;'> <span></span> <a href="http://www.aves-specta.com/node/300"><img src="//www.aves-specta.com/files/active/1/300_thumb.jpg" alt="w5vq-front" title="w5vq-front" class="acidfree" /></a> </div> <div>w5vq-front</div> </div> </div><p>Got curious about the First Balloon Co and through a web search found a reference in James R.
