        Subject: Members<br><br>Dear Lowlanders,<br><br>Here is wishing all our Lowlands-L members well, especially those on the North American east coast and in adjacent areas. As we "speak," tropical storm Sandy (no relation to our own Sandy Fleming, though he, too, is a force to be reckoned with) is hitting most of the east coast. They say it is of such massive, unprecedented proportions that it influences the weather throughout most of the USA and parts of Canada. A friend's son sent me a picture taken from a window in his Manhattan apartment, with high surf hitting the road.<br>

<br>Even here in the Pacific Northwest we are having eery weather: high winds, unseasonably warm </font></span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>and muggy</font></span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font> air, and, now in the evening hours, something I would characterize as a yellowish haze.<br>

<br>Hunker down and be safe, guys!<br><br>Also, I hope that those of you living in the greater San Francisco Bay Area did not sustain any damage as a result of yesterday's 4.4 earthquake.<br><br>Regards and best wishes,<br>
