Worst Weather in the World

I flew up to Maine to see my sister and cousins for a few days. As part of the trip we went up Mount Washington in NH. We went up on the Cogged Railway. It's A unique old vehicle system that only uses a large cog underneath the engine hooked into a ladder type of rack on the tracks all the way to the top. The modern engine uses a 600HP John Deere driving a hydraulic pump which in turn drives several hydraulic motors turning the large cog. Mt Washington is known for the extreme cold and highest wind in the world. Yes, the world. That was not the case when we went up. The winds were 3 MPH and the temp was 62 degrees. the highest ever temp ever recorded was 72 degrees and a 3 MPH wind is generally unheard of. So, the weather was quite kind for us.

Center for Information-Development Management I have been a a workshop for the past couple of days in Rochester. It was titled "Content Managemant Strategies". It was pretty good. The workshop was presented by the Author "JoAnn Hackos". I learned some stuff and it was worthwhile. It is interesesting to hear the same stuff from other Publications managers. Some of these folks have some huge departments.
