Much the same here in PA. We were 80 mid last week, and this morning we
were 40 with heavy rain and wind. The leaves are getting knocked off
quickly today.

We've had perhaps two days of rain in the last 2.5 months here near the coast in
New Jersey. The leaves are dead already, even if they *do* look green. As soon
as the temp drops a bit, so will they. I expect there will be no color at all
this year. Of course, we don't get the sort of show that NE gets, anyway.

I understand that the situation is much the same in the Smokies near my home
town. The people that make a living from tourism are already wailing and
knashing teeth.

Mr. Dixon. What's the prospect up around Bristol?

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.
