Ten Years on the Rock Pile: A Collection of Stories, Some Hilarious, Some Tragic, about Life at the Summit of Mount WashingtonMount Washington, located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, is the highest peak in the northeastern United States. It is often cited by its inhabitants, no less as the home of the country's worst weather, a claim supported by the mountain's long held record for the highest wind gust directly measured at the Earth's surface (231 mph on April 12, 1934).

Mount Washington, located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, is the highest peak in the northeastern United States. It is often cited--by its inhabitants, no less--as the home of the country's worst weather, a claim supported by the mountain's long-held record for the highest wind gust directly measured at the Earth's surface (231 mph on April 12, 1934). As a transmitter supervisor for WMTW-TV, Lee Vincent traveled regularly to the summit of Mount Washington. Soon enough his reports from the peak began appearing in a column in a local paper--and just as quickly captivated readers near and far.
These columns--with their accounts of the everyday lives and unusual exploits of the individuals who chose, against all odds and most notions of common sense, to call Mount Washington home--are gathered in this book. As entertaining and engaging as they are informative, these reports from the summit form an invaluable record of life happily lived in extremity. Accompanied by remarkable photographs and candid snapshots, they also document the experience and insights--and after Vincent's diagnosis with a virulent form of cancer, the valiant last days--of someone who had seen the mountaintop and reported back for the edification and delight of those lucky enough to read his columns and books.

Helps With Dry Mouth, Tastes Great and Easy to Keep On Hand
Size: 27 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 27 Count (Pack of 1)
Update: I have already repurchased more! I love the taste and they work so well with a great taste. I’ve been dealing with dry mouth lately, especially at night, and these Biotene Dry Mouth Lozenges have been really helpful. They dissolve slowly and help keep my mouth feeling more comfortable without being overly sweet or strong. The mint flavor is light and refreshing, which I appreciate because some lozenges can taste too medicinal. These are gentle and easy to use throughout the day or before bed if dryness is bothering me. The packaging is also convenient to keep in a bag or on a bedside table. I like that the lozenges are sugar-free and individually sealed in the blister pack so they stay fresh. I included a photo of the lozenge in my hand so you can see the size and what it looks like out of the package, along with photos of the box and blister pack for reference. These are simple, effective, great taste and a good option to keep on hand if you deal with dry mouth.

Would continue to buy again
Size: 27 Count (Pack of 1)
Purchased twice. I wish they made these bigger. Moisturizing mouth well and flavor is pleasant and long lasting. I have Sjogrens and suffer with dry eye and mouth. These work better than regular lozenges.
