 SOUTHERN PINES, NC - - By the time we return to Southern Pines in Oct, these fuzzy little quackers will be fully grown.  So, we're on the road and eventually heading Westward while keeping a close eye on forest fires and   unsettled weather.  It gets worse each year.  Eventually, we'll be in Oregon and Washington where, on the Pacific coast, it's a bit cooler due mainly to coastal fog.   We'll see.
