NICE WEATHER THROUGH THURSDAY: We are very happy to report that
there are no more tropical storms or hurricanes on the horizon that will
threaten the hurricane plagued SE. Instead, here in Alabama some drier air
was slowly spreading down from the NW and our temperatures for the next
several days will be comfortable. Remember, it wasn't too long ago that our
normal high was 91 and the normal low 71. Now it's 81 and 58 as the season
slowly changes.

OUR NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN: We have taken out the mention of any rain
on Thursday so our next rain will be a few isolated showers on Friday and
even that is not certain. A cold front will be approaching Alabama on
Saturday. This should set off some widely scattered showers and possibly a
thunderstorm. It does not look like an all day rain by any means.
It was pleasant across the state again this morning. A few of the lows
included: 57 in Pinson; 58 in Talladega; 59 in Huntsville, Cullman,
Russellville and Fayette.

MORE ABOUT MISS JEANNE: Alabama escaped some heavy rain yesterday
as Jeanne moved northward through Georgia. It seemed that the
Alabama-Georgia border was a brick wall not letting any rain into our area.
This afternoon Jeanne was over SW Virginia and still moving NE and still
causing lots of problems. Numerous flash flood warnings are posted all the
way northward into parts of New York State. In the last 24 hours, nearly 5
inches of rain fell in Atlanta bringing their total for September to 13.65
inches. She may still produce as much as 4 to 8 inches of rain in the next
24 hours in the Northeast.

WEATHER NOTEBOOK: Can't find a dry spot hardly anywhere in the
Eastern USA. As much as 4 inches of additional rain fell in North Carolina
overnight...would you believe that Vero Beach on the Atlantic Coast of
Florida has received 17 inches of rain in the last 4 weeks? Melbourne has
received 16 inches, but one of the biggest totals is a whopping 26.17 inches
at West Palm Beach.a very chilly air mass is pushing down through the
Midwest...there was a hard freeze in Northern Minnesota this morning with
temperatures as low as 19 in Embarrass...in Alaska, the coldest was 9 at
Arctic Village.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Sure hope you saw the harvest moon as
it came up last night. It was partially hidden by clouds, but still a
beautiful sight. The moon will only be about 30 minutes later rising tonight
and little Miss Molly and I will try to walk about that time...a most
pleasant walk this morning, but the combination of a community cat and
several dogs really gave her a lot of excitement. She wants to be friendly
with every human and dog in the world, but she knows by instinct that she is
supposed to chase cats and rabbits. That means I have to chase them too,
because she pulls me along at a rapid clip. Don't you wish your life was as
exciting? Life goes on and I look forward to the bonus 15 years with Molly.
