IVAN'S SECOND FUNERAL: He is not the tropical storm with nine lives but he
is the closest thing to it. He made another landfall last night near the
Texas-Louisiana border and was north of Livingston in East Texas at midday
with winds all the way down to 10-15 mph. The National Hurricane Center has
issued their last advisory for the second time in this thriller. A friend
remarked this morning that maybe that is the last of Ivan unless he reforms
over Great Salt Lake. But wait a minute. Some of the track forecasts
suggests that Ivan's leftovers will drift back to the south to near Corpus
Christi and the Gulf Coast. Could he get into the Gulf again? Unlikely but
nothing is impossible for Ivan. After Ivan moved out into the Atlantic east
of the Virginia Coast, he ran up against a big high pressure area that
gently sent him southward and finally inland again over Central Florida and
into the Gulf where he was reborn yesterday. The National Hurricane Center
had quite an internal discussion whether to retain the Ivan name since only
part of his leftovers were still together.

HURRICANE JEANNE: She has already caused a human disaster of the first
order in Haiti but now we must watch and wait to see if she will strike
Florida. The official track forecast brings her onshore near Fort Pierce or
Melbourne early Sunday then north right along the Atlantic Coast of Florida
to Daytona, St Augustine, Jacksonville, then to near Savannah, Charleston
and Wilmington. If that track holds true (usually there are errors that far
ahead) the worst side of Jeanne will be offshore.

BACK HOME IN ALABAMA: We are hanging on with a dry forecast for at least the
next five days with highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Nice tonight for all of the high school games, in the 70s
for the 7:30 kickoffs...mostly sunshine for the Citadel-Auburn game in
Auburn Saturday afternoon with near 85 at kickoff...dry weather also for
Alabama-Arkansas at Fayetteville, near 80 at kickoff...UAB hosts Memphis at
Legion Field in a 6 pm game, fair, dry weather with about 78 at kickoff.

CLEANING OFF MY DESK: And I need to scrub it with soap and water, too, tiny
Molly footprints all over...USA extremes: 100 in Death Valley yesterday, 27
this morning in Gunnison and Alamosa, Colo., on this date in 1956, Hurricane
Flossy made a second landfall near Ft. Walton Beach in NW Florida with
hurricane conditions from Pensacola to Panama City...at Gulf Shores, Ala.,
it dumped 16.30 inches of rain.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly joined me at 8 last night for
a 15-minute power nap but we did not awaken till 11:30 pm with my head cold
cured...so then Molly was ready to play. After a late night walk, we had 30
minutes of active playing, chase ball, pull rope and wrestling...I cut away
and went to bed at midnight, I felt a kerplunk and she was right beside me
and asleep in 30 seconds...very pleasant early walk today...an old crow
sounded like he was making a speech or giving a newscast to the crow
community...a bright yellow butterfly followed us for 1/4 mile...while Molly
was doing her "main business" a bird flew over and it's shadow crossed
Molly...she jumped straight up and did a 180-degree turn trying to grab the
shadow...dumb dog. Life goes on.
