I’ve previously taken a picture of the Convertible’s roof patterns with dew on, back in July, and this morning the patterns returned – but this time it was ice crystals instead of water droplets!

OctoberFast 2008
Another great day provided by MINI of Peabody – though it looked not so great to start, with overnight rain! But it stopped by about 9am, leaving a usefully wet parking lot for the auto-cross!
As the day continued, the clouds melted away and the sun came out strong, giving us mid 60s (warm enough to drop the top!) – and lots of friendly MINI owners chatting, and having fun on the auto-cross course (which they set up for the whole day).
I spent the day chatting with friends, and taking pictures …
A great day, made even better by the surprising weather – thanks to everyone at MINI of Peabody for putting it all together again 🙂
Pennsylvania and New York City
Our return from Florida this time was somewhat circuitous, due to my making a presentation at JLG – we flew to Washington DC, rented a car (eventually!), drove to JLG, did the presentation, stayed near and toured Gettysburg, stayed in New Jersey, drove through New York City, before eventually heading home! Margaret did much of the driving in the (large) Toyota Camry we rented (thanks!), so I took some photos …
Looking down over McConnellsburg, PA, where JLG is located:
Memorials in Gettysburg (there are MANY); many gravestones, too:
And the Gettysburg address:
Margaret drove us right through the center of New York City, down Broadway – and I was able to take a couple of pictures of interesting buildings: The Empire State Building (some of it, anyway), and the Flat Iron Building (my favourite building!); a quick stop in Battery Park, to see The Statue Of Liberty and Ellis Island:
