THERMOMETER TRYING TO WORK WITH US: This is the last week of Summer,
at least it is for weather people who count June, July and August as
Summer and September, October and November as Autumn. On the
calendar, we still have about three more weeks. However, the old
thermometer seems to be getting with the dance and is more user
friends. James Spann believes that we have seen the last of 100-
degree weather until at least next year and I tend to think that he
is correct.

This is also going to be a good week for the rain buckets, as we will
have a decent chance of a shower or thunderstorm each day, especially
through Thursday. Our best chance may be tomorrow when we will be
getting some scattered showers and thunderstorms, even in the early
part of the day. High temperatures will be consistently around 90 to
92 all week. By the end of the week, there are some indications that
a weak front could move down into our corner of the world. This would
at least bring some slightly less humid air and some slightly lower
temperatures.

Rain distribution sure has been uneven lately. Would you believe that
Roebuck, in the NE part of Birmingham, has received 4.25 inches of
rain in the last three days and Birmingham Airport 3.46 inches,
including 2 inches in one storm Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile, some
other communities have stayed dry.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A low-pressure area moved inland into NE Mexico
this morning producing locally heavy rain over that general area. A
tropical wave over the Western Caribbean is not doing much.
Significant development is not expected. Still another tropical wave
over the far Eastern Atlantic could have slow development in the next
few days.

HITHER AND YON: Hurricane Katrina was beginning to catch much
attention two years ago today, as the big storm grew a lot stronger
in the Gulf of Mexico. We all know what happened in New Orleans. Way
up north, a tornado struck Northwood, North Dakota last evening with
a lot of damage. One person was killed and 18 injured. That town is
located in the eastern part of North Dakota SW of Grand Forks. 31 was
the USA low this morning at Meacham, Oregon. It was 34 in Eagle, Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Sure do appreciate all the Happy
Birthday greetings for Little Miss Molly in the last few days. A
great response to the story that we posted on the Blog. She had a
delightful birthday, but she also got into semi-trouble. She chewed
up and destroyed the majority owner's little 67-year old baby shoes.
The minority owner also got into semi-trouble, because he forgot the
majority owner's birthday which is today. However, because of work
schedules, we have celebrated birth weeks, so no big deal. (Says the
minority owner, NOT the majority owner!) Our home looks like an
obstacle course, or maybe even a landfill, at the moment. My daughter
and two grandkids have taken on the huge project to completely
rearrange a whole bunch of stuff. Stacked in the living area now are
thousands and thousands of color slides, color prints and blank and
white prints. She is going to categorize all of those (at least
25,000) and get them all filed in order. Meanwhile, when Little Miss
Molly is playing ball, she has to jump over big piles of stuff that
she normally considers her baseball diamond. But life goes on and we
will survive.....
