Well, at least they died doing someone they loved, eh?

Did you see an fall colors?

Not yet! There was just a hint of colors in the trees, but nothing really
discernible yet.


I had to drive from central PA ro Warren OH yesterday. There was
color in the higher elevations in PA but peak color is about a week
away.

Things are changing rapidly here. We went from near 90 on Wednesday, to 30
this morning, with high winds. The leaves have changed color seemingly
overnight, and are being ripped off by the wind.

Hopefully the weather will stabilize by the weekend, or there may not be any
fall colors to see this year.

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.

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!

It's not that we haven't talked about it. However, after serious
consideration of all the mechanics required, we decided that a Cherokee 6
would be the minimum required aircraft for the deed.


On the bright side, we could then use it for "Mile High" stays at the inn!
