| My apologies for not mentioning the Observatory Tour! Bad Theo! How could I forget a tradition like the Obs Tour? Well, perhaps diminished cranial processing due to the 60's perhaps...or just Seccomania. Thanks to our Obs Organizer, Pete, for another outstanding behind-the-scenes peak at how the World's Worst Weather data is gathered and processed. This is really a "must see" and for those of you who are returning next year, I strongly suggest signing up early for The Tour. Pete will send out an announcement in the weeks prior to MINIsOnTop 2009. And, thanks for supporting the Mt. Washington Observatory with your donations!

| Obs Check Presentation Not a fancy presentation since I had broken camp in the rain an hour earlier, but the programs director Dr. Peter Crane and executive director Scott Henley, along with the entire Mount Washington Observatory staff, greatly appreciated our contribution. Between the 6.288% of the overall MOT fund raising and the purchase of 3 family memberships as raffle items, the Obs netted over $1,000. Thanks very much for your generosity. Donating the 6.288% to the Obs every year is a great way to give back to the mountain which gives us some much pleasure (as well as a bit of auto road terror ).Pete ![]() ![]() |

| I'm waiting for mine to arrive - But one photo I know that got used was one Josh took of a classic Mini leaving the top lot in the fog - It's not with the article but a full page shot on the TOC page - That's two for you now, right? “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” - Alexis de Tocqueville Eric the Red |

| Boy - sounds like somebody's getting a lot of crop here “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” - Alexis de Tocqueville Eric the Red |
