All cyclone activity seems to have petered out Auralie. Just a couple of half-hearted tropical depressions out there now. But there's still a lot of season left. First hurricane I ever experienced up close and personal was Camille in October 1952. And you're right about the media hype; fear sells--everything from weather forecasts to half-baked political policies.

Here's hoping each of you is having  good holiday weekend to wrap up
this miserable summer.  The media hyped hurricane Earl to the max -
I'm sure they were capitalizing on its being the anniversary of Katrina - 
though it never looked to me as if it would amount to much, and of
course it didn't. After a long life of hurricane watching I can usually 
predict them about as well as the meteorologists.

Weather here today is gorgeous - brilliant sunshine, temps in the
low 70s, but since we did not get a drop of rain from Earl, and
haven't had a drop since the downpour two weeks ago, it's terribly
dry again. Add to that the biggest crop of ragweed I can ever remember 
seeing, and you get a pretty bad hayfever situation. After only a few
minutes out watering some containers, my nose and eyes are streaming.
Oh well.

Whenever someone decides what to do in memory of Bonnie, be
assured that I will be glad to contribute.
