The post is fake.  MD never wrote in that way.  Just some clever user who wants to stir up controversy.  Pitiful.  

Hello fellow Opentopia fans.   It's Arizona Sue or Silver Squirrel.  Has it really been two years since MD went AWOL.  Her head would be swiveling what with all the political mess happening here in the US.  It's going to be a bumpy ride.  Hubby and I want to relocate to Europe.  

In all my interactions with MD, she NEVER cut and pasted like this.

MD - another welcome back from me. We have been bereft about your absence. I did so much poring over this site looking for signs of life from you!

186 web cams are available as of the last scan. You're one of 10 current visitors.                                                Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.    I came here to moan about Trump but again,  there is nobody here.  It's like the Marie Celeste.  I've been on Twitter rallying the troops against Trump but to no avail.  Now it will be R.I.P. Ukraine and any other country he takes a dislike to.  Musk will not be in any trouble because Trump's DOJ won't investigate his friends.  I can't believe the American people have done this to themselves.  It will be President Vance within months and Project 2025 underway.  Soon be back to slavery.  Under Trump the USA will become what he always says it is ...  a failing country.  Third world countries will look down on the USA.  It is so sad.                        MD              

Hi, N Q - Happy Halloween to you, as well! No trick or treaters here... our house can't be seen from the road and is at the end of a long, dark, steep driveway. Nobody dares to try it! We are (mostly) friendly, though :-)

It's extremely, and unseasonably, warm here. Our son still lives in Vermont and had snow and ice that made his Monday morning commute a little slick, though. Glad I wasn't there!

Cheers -

Happy Halloween Homely, do you get many kids at your place ? I get none.

Mother Earth is playing a Halloween trick on us today, it's snowing ! It's been coming down pretty hard for the last coiple hours but luckily the ground is too warm for it to stick.

Stopping by to say "hello, friends" before the holiday season gets into full swing. Hope we will join again on our hunt for the Christmast Tree cams!

Here's an interesting and very clear cam in Marquette Michigan, part of the view is of a building with a grass roof and today there are goats on it eating the grass.

It is sad with how many cams have disappeared along with everybody that used to chat here. If you get in the mood to visit new cams, this site is loaded with them and they also have some of the ones that are here, along with a few of Opentopia's old cams. They used to have individual chats platform on each of the cams but they did away with that a while ago.

Back up to 196 today, but still so sad to see how far the numbers have fallen. I miss "seeing" so many people and places on OT!

down to 195 webcams. I think there were somewhere around 5,000 cams back when I first check this site out.

Hi silversquirrel, after I stated we were having warm temps, our temps went in the opposite direction, woke up to frost and snow for a few days but we're now headed back into warmer weather.

We used to have nice summers where the highs were in the 80's-low 90's but with climate changes, we now get up into the high 90's and low 100's so not so pleasant anymore :( but a hell of a lot nicer than AZ. I think if I lived there that I'ld spend all of my time inside during the summer !

Hi NQ.  We're heating up over the next few days.  It's been a lovely cool and wet Spring.   It's goodbye to the 70s and 80s.   Wisconsin in the summer must be comfortable.  I have a friend who lives in Mequon.   Used to be a Florida snowbird but has moved back recently to WI.   Good to see you here.   

Hi silversquirrel, has it heated up in Arizona yet ? I'm in Wis and we already hit 80 degrees a couple of times, normally our temps are around 50 degrees at this time of the year.

Hi fellow camera travelers.   Just checking in.  Arizona Sue/Silver Squirrel.  

Hi Homely, sorry to hear that work is keeping you too busy ! I've been enjoying my retirement, not really doing a lot, just relishing not having to get up and go anywhere daily :)

I've been in chat groups and forums since the year 2000 and over the years many of the people I've met have disappeared and with only a handful I found out later that they had passed away. It unfortunately is the way of the internet, meet strangers, become friends and then have them disappear from your life, leaving you guessing if they're dead or alive and had a medical reason for leaving or an electronic reason or if they're like me, they got tired of some of the chatters and just decided to move onto another chat platform. Though in MD's case, I really do feel that she passed away :(

Take care and don't work too hard :)

Hi, All - Happy Spring and all of that jazz. Had a breathtakingly busy several months here at work, but am through the worst of it now and thinking of you. Never heard anything from BJ or anyone else in response to my outreach. Very sad, but I suppose that is all of the answer we will ever know. I've done my level best to get condolences out to her.
