A new first

Hey Jay,

Did you happen to notice if the fall colors were starting up yet?

I am planning on taking a friend of mine (who is recovering from
lung cancer, he never smoked either) on a leaf peeping tour next monday 10/10.

I'm based at KUGN and was planning on flying to DuBuque and then follow the
river northward towards Prairie du Chein, stop for lunch/gas and then head back
towards KUGN.

Just checking since you were that way recently. Did you see an fall colors?

So we're climbing out of Prairie du Chein, WI (KPDC) on a beautiful early
fall afternoon. We've just been to the local riverboat's all-you-can-eat
buffet, and Mary is flying as PIC with my 27-year old nephew in the right
seat.
Snipped for Brevity.

colors?

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

They will pop out pretty dramatically if we get the 30 degree weather
they're predicting for tonight, though. It's a beautiful flight when
they're in "full bloom"...

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!
