THE ALABAMA STORY: If you've never driven the Natchez Parkway, that starts
in SW Mississippi near Natchez and runs all the way NE to Nashville, you
should drive it sometime. It is a beautiful uncluttered drive through mostly
quiet countryside. However today, where the Trace crosses extreme NW
Alabama, the National Park Service closed part of it due to flash flooding.

This was mainly in NW Alabama's Colbert County. Flash flood warnings were
issued for several NW Alabama counties this morning as slow-moving
thunderstorms moved toward the east. By early this afternoon, there were
scattered storms in many parts of the state and some were producing heavy
rain. The Alabama weather situation won't change a great deal with scattered
to occasionally numerous thunderstorms all the way through the weekend.
Naturally, there will be a variation day-to-day in the number of storms. If
we had to pick a number out of our hat, we would say that the best chance
will be Thursday and Sunday/Monday.

TROPICAL WEATHER: It is officially known as Tropical Depression Six located
1,500 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. Although it became fragmented
overnight, it should still become Tropical Storm Frances fairly soon. The
long-range track forecast does not indicate a path toward the Gulf of Mexico
or the SE USA. In the Western Pacific, super Typhoon Chaba was still
producing sustained winds of 165 mph with gusts to 200 and kicking up waves
as high as 36 feet! It should to cross the southwestern most island of Japan
by this weekend.

PROWLING AROUND ON WEDNESDAY: The USA cool spot this morning was Saranac
Lake in far Upstate New York where it was 35...another chilly note...up to 2
inches of snow was expected to accumulate today and tonight in parts of
Yellowstone National Park.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It is hard to believe that little Miss Molly
is two years old today. Don't tell her that we spent only $1 on her birthday
present. It was still another squeaky toy that we bought in the $1 section
of a super market. She already has so many squeaky toys, that our living
area sounds like a den of mice at times. I can't even describe the impact
that little Miss Molly has had on my life. My blood pressure has always been
normal. Even if I had high blood pressure, she would have cured it. We
haven't had Molly the entire two years but in the 21 months that we have had
her, I am sure that she and I have walked over 700 miles. That would be
equal to walking all the way to near Lincoln, Nebraska or to near
Washington, D.C. That's why I think Miss Molly will make me live 15 years
longer. An interesting note by e-mail this morning. A child explained that
dogs do not need to live as long as humans because they know how to love
everyone and be nice from day one. Humans have to learn to do that. Little
Miss Molly walked into our living area 21 months ago with her pom-pom tail
already wagging and it has not stopped wagging since. We love life together.
