It's kind of iffy around here George. Had a dry spell with not really as
cool of temps as you expect. Things have been cooling down now for about 2
weeks, but we had a few days in there it was downright hot. I expect color
but I think it will be alittle later. My banana plant is still outside and
that's strange for October!

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.
