Melange is a word of French origin that means a mixture or a blend of things. Potpourri is another word of similar meaning and origin, but I personally like melange better! :) Anyway, I try to keep many different types of webcams on the blog; landscapes, seascapes, cities, farms, and various kinds of wildlife, from all over the world.

Most of us here on WU that create their own blogs do so not only for their self-satisfaction, but for the visitors and lurkers that stop by. If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't to a blog, as I could simply bookmark a cam I like, and visit it whenever I wished. If I did this blog for myself, the cams would have a lot more soaring vistas, and fewer cams of animals and cities. But folks like critters, and folks like people, and folks like stuff happening, so those cams are searched for and placed in the blog!

yep, I suspect the Fuji cam is also stuck. Either that or that man under the coconut tree has nothing else to do :)
We are still warm & now sunny. It is going to change with Sandys passing. Like you said "tis that time of year". However right now we still have the a/c going.

be safe..

I have not had a day that has been so totally wacked out as this one in monnths!

Canyonlands cam is showing perfect weather, unlike here! :P If I have time, I'm going to give the Fiji cam the boot!

Janet, you're time's acomin'! :) I saw somewhere that West Viginia could get 8-10 inches of snow! I'm glad I don't live in the mountains!

Safe is boring! ;-)

Rob, I checked the website too; I usually do that first when I see a cam's gone down, to see if it's the cam owner's problem, or a WU or Glitchamatic problem!

Well, I figured you were pretty busy so figured I'd check it for you!

Sorry you had a rough day.
Hope tomorrow is better for you!

Hey, the monkeys kidnapped the tourist that was standing too close and took him up into the hills. They are demanding skittles and cigarettes. Bad monkeys. It's that or I need to learn how to do screen captures to post pics from the live cams.

Be back tomorrow! Everyone have a good night!

Good morning.
It looks like my halogen light burnt out. I guess they don't like snapping on in the cooler weather.
Enjoy the night.

Good morning! A cold, raw, slap-in-the-face kind of day so far; started off cloudy, but is now clearing, temps are in the low-to-mid 40s with a stiff wind!

Earlier, the Monture cam was showing a setting moon! Pretty cool! The Styra and Bangkok cams are behaving themselves this morning, so that's a good thing!

Saw this note on the Milos website: "Attention ! Devices have been destroyed during a thunderstorm. We are working! Asking for some patience !" Glad it's just a hardware problem! It'll be interesting if any changes come to the optics or the view once the work is complete!

If time allows, I may suspend this blog, and do a "Frankensandy" blog. We'll see!

Hi, Rob! Hope you had a good night!

Good morning, Tony! Here at work, we have several halogen bulbs that have loose wiring, so when the light is on, the bulb heats up, the contacts expand and come apart, and the bulb goes out! When it cools, the contacts come back together, and the light comes on again!

Good morning Ylee:
I've been meaning to comment but usually when I check the Cams the last comment is yours and it says something like: "See you in 20."
T'would be timely to put up cams showing places along Sandy's route.
We have light driz at about 8C. Wind ESE maybe 6kn. I'm watching because we are taxiing a young fella I work with over to the other island with his lady and step daughter later this morning. Wind Warning up for this aft.
We rode a ferry on the Chao Phraya and a couple in and out of Greece. The Cams bring back good memories:
We hopped on a ferry from Corfu to Venice and did not take a cabin imagining we could sleep in the Pullman seats for a night. The next morning I looked out expecting to see the Italian coast. Nope - the Adriatic Sea is much bigger than I figured or the boat was slower so we had another night aboard. Nobody was comfortable in the Pullmans so we had slept on the floor. We somehow captured a couple of lounge chairs on the back deck and slept on them the next night. However: depending on the wind direction a diesel boat does not always leave it's soot behind. A lot of that soot accumulated on us and our pack sacks.

we are only having a steady shower and a gust of wind every now & then. Suppose to get strong into the night.

No frost here yet but next weeks lows are forecast into the upper 30's brrrr
