I'm looking for a keen link.

Is there someplace where I can look up road conditions? I want to drive from Maine to Northern NJ tomorrow morning. Are all the different highways between here and there in good shape? Google maps will tell you about traffic and construction, but does anyone tell you about snow and ice clearing? I've tried looking at different webcams, but it's nighttime now and they are all dark.

Try Google for "Road Conditions" + your state or where you're going

The 511 Road Conditions gives quite a bit of information
e.g. "road conditions virginia 81"

Good news: I know of just such a site, and it's great!
Bad news: It's run by the Texas Department of Transportation, and will not provide any information on your state(s). But you should check with the Maine DOT, they might have something similar.

Thanks. I guess I was hoping for a magic site like Google maps where I could get directions and it would tell me the road conditions all along the route. Having to look up each of the 6 states and look through all their alerts takes time. I'm sure the highways will be fine.

Build that website, and make a million $$$.

I'm a sucker for pics of dogs and natural scenery.

Here is a link to another internet forum and a thread named "Random photo thread"

Lots of dogs, kids, Pacific NW scenery, and other random shots... maybe the best thread on that forum !
Some pages may be slow to load because the number of pics, but I think they are worth waiting for.

Do a Google image search (safe mode OFF) for Peggy Hill.

Hey Sky, did you watch it (yet)?

It's an hour and a half long and I could not find a "pause" button
so I did miss some segments during dinner.

But it was worth watching.
I particularly liked segments on skydiving, what do you fear ?, and
being alone/
And there were several others. Even the credits at the very end are good too...
a snail finally eats the last message !

Thanks for posting the link as I would have missed it.
