A MODEL WEEKEND: I sure do hate to throw out these nice weather
adjectives every day when we are in the midst of the worst drought in
hundreds of moons. Under normal conditions, even the Central Alabama
Chamber of Commerce would be throwing a street party with this kind of
weather. As we have said all week, might as well enjoy it, because
there is nothing we can do to change it. Another front was moving
across the state this afternoon accompanied by some scattered clouds
but no rain. It will be reinforcing our supply of very dry air. This
will permit night temperatures to be chilly into early next week and
highs will back off to near 70 through Sunday. Still another cold
front will reach Central Alabama early next week, about Monday night
or Tuesday. There is the remotest chance of a few light showers with
that system and then some colder temperatures in the middle of next
week, with some 30s at night.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The National Hurricane Center cancelled the
tropical storm warning for the lower east coast of Florida early this
afternoon. This was because Noel turned more to the right and was
moving away from the coast. The center was passing near Nassau in the
Bahamas. He was moving NNE at 14 mph and should go faster forward in
the next 24 hours. Sustained winds were 65 mph and he could grow
stronger. As much as 18 inches of rain may fall in the Bahamas. News
reports indicate some entire small towns were washed away in the
Dominican Republic and Haiti with thousands of homes destroyed and at
least 100 fatalities.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: No complaints from coaches, players, officials and
fans. Clear for all the games this weekend. For high school games
Friday night, near 60 at kick off and dropping into the 50s. Auburn
has homecoming hosting Tennessee Tech at 1:30 Saturday. Low humidity,
72 at kick off, 60s during the second half. LSU will be in Tuscaloosa
for a 4:00 p.m. kick off with Alabama. Should be about 68 when foot
meets leather for the first time and 58 at the final whistle. Southern
Miss will be at Legion Field playing at 6:00 p.m. 65 at kick off, 53
in the fourth quarter.

MISCELLANEOUS: Bunches of trick or treaters last night—the most I
have seen. Great weather! Cold temperatures this morning 11 at Big
Piney in a nice valley in Western Wyoming plus one above at Kivaina,
Alaska. We can always find a few pleasant temperatures in the valleys
of NE Alabama where it was 44 in the DeSoto State Park.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Halloween and Little Miss Molly were
custom made for each other. She had more fun last night than high
school kids on prom night. Trick or treaters rang our doorbell about
25 times. Regardless of where Molly was in the house, she raced to the
front door at seemingly 40 mph running between our legs, she would
stand on her hind legs and paw at the glass to see who was at the
door. A lot of the kids, as soon as they got their treat, would pause
and give Miss Molly a head rub. Her little tail was wagging so fast I
was afraid it was going to drop off. She escaped briefly when we
opened the door once, shooting out of the house like a cannonball and
seemingly headed for Cattanooga. It was a short-lived freedom, but she
had a ball in those few seconds. After the last treater, she curled up
on the footrest of my recliner right against my leg. She got lots of
loving. Life goes on......
