    I too was very interested in the map. I found it rather intriguing that Westchester has such neat 90 degree corners - not like any County in the UK.

    Also, it's dead straight river near the coast and the large circular mountain range in the middle seemed to remind me of somewhere or other, though I can't quite work out where - maybe it was that Japanese mountain range that's 1200 metres above Sea Level.

    I see what you did there!

    Wouldn't it be great if the Straight Line along the bottom of the county was 1210 miles?

    Our highways have the unique distinction where sometimes you go around in circles with a distinct red glow.

    Therefore, I will ask you ONE FINAL time, as ignoring me is NOT AN OPTION.....

    WHERE IS WESTCHESTER???

    Your failure to answer the question this time (and add the info to your profile) will result in a week's ban. I do hope I've made myself clear!!

    The hurricane looks to be clearing out. I did see sun for about 10 minutes or so. Luckly no (major) power outages or destruction in NYC/Westchester my area that I know of right now. But there is lots of rain to go around.

    We did not get the full blast of winds that were promised in our area. Long Island (the tip that sticks out at bottom east of the NY map) always gets hit the hardest during any major storm since they are costal.


    Its been a pretty eventful week for New York and the Eastern Seaboard in the USA.

    Earthquake: Check
    Hurricane: Check
    The New York Yankees becoming the first Major League Team to hit 3 Grand Slams in a single game: You bet we have that covered.

    Rumor has it that the sizmic activity that impacted the Eastern Seaboard earlier in the week has the epicenter in Westchester due to some guy drilling into his TT. Again, this is just a rumor.

    Besides - how do you get the picture in the quote? I tried following the instructions in the FAQ, but I think I am missing something. I upload pics to the album on this forum, but i never see an arrow when I add the pics to a quote. And I do not have a website to upload the pics to.
