I'm back in Cincinnati now so we missed the tropical storm. The weather in the Marco Island/Naples area was interesting.

In Cincinnati the altimeter says I'm 240 feet, which sounds about right since I live on a hill and surrounded by foot hills, hence the name of my area, "Western Hills."

The manual with the watch is actually a book, so there is a lot I still need to learn about it. The thermometer was accurate. Hiking the Everglades in Auguest, when the watch says it's 98.4 degrees your eyes burning from your sweat is your body telling your brain that the thermometer is correct.

The one thing that's cool about hiking in the Everglades is if there is a 8 foot gator 4 feet from the trail, A) it is perfectly normal. B) You just walk right past it.
