    Like the Almanac is ever right. I used to get it every year, and it wasn’t worth the price for the weather prediction.

    I was surprised, though, that the standard Old Farmer’s Almanac, which has a section of puzzlers, leaves that out of the Southern Edition.

    Ah, the weather – everyone talks about it but no-one does anything about it … as they say. One person’s cool crisp day is someone else’s snowstorm, And other trite proverbialisms.

    And then there was El Niño.

    Crisp, dry air? Where? We’re still suffering 90 temps for the next few days, and we’re not even in the west or the south.

    unfortunately we are finding out the weather may be partly our fault….

    Oh, I really hope that’s not true. Last winter was BRUTAL around here! I don’t think I can handle one worse than that the very next year!

    What’s a Floridian’s favorite thing to say to a snowbird?“Y’all don’t come back now, ya hear?”

    It is getting darker but with the air, leaves and the outlook changing what is to complain? Just a storm at sea or closer?

    Down here, close to the Equator, they are predicting the worst El Niño since 1998, for later this year. This will especially impact the coastal areas so…Those of us who live on the Coast are Not laughing at the plight of our neighbors in the Sierras who are living under the volcanos.They will remain ( hopefully) high and dry – if perhaps, a little dusty, while we will be pummeled by rain rather than pumice.

    I think Flo may be happiest for the end of tourist season… I know that when I lived on York Beach, ME one winter my apartment was $300/mo. During the summer it went for over $300/wk. And I could actually drive to work in Kittery. I went back in the summer for a nostalgia tour, and O.M.G. was it brutal. All for beaches of rocks.

    Excuse my ignorance but I don’t understand what kind of language they speak. It’s maybe some USA dialect?

    I see the anti-Americans are out in force now that they are losing again. You might expect a little “aggression” when a bunch of drunk frat boys fire on an American supply ship in Charleston harbor, but every secession document mentioned preservation of slavery as the prime cause. I don’t know about you brainwashed-by-Gabbler-censored-textbooks dropouts, but we never discussed that disagreement – we were not only on both sides in the war, but at least twice, both sides in the same battle. But parts of my family have been in the south for a few thousand years. How long you carpetbaggers been around?

    I live on the northwest Pacific coast. Here we’re having an early fall – chilly mornings and fog giving way to blue skies, a warm sun and cool breezes. The trees still have their leaves and haven’t yet turned. But we had a storm come through a few days ago with hurricane gusts. That’s the first of the downsides of fall here; there will be pleasant days until another storm comes off the sea. Still, it’s so nice to avoid those burning summers, and on the coast there’s no snow. A lot of immigration here from the south and central part of the country. I wonder why.

    “You’ve Got To Be Carefully Taught” – South Pacific – Rogers And Hammerstein.

    .

    You’ve got to be taughtTo hate and fear,You’ve got to be taughtFrom year to year,It’s got to be drummedIn your dear little earYou’ve got to be carefully taught..You’ve got to be taught to be afraidOf people whose eyes are oddly made,And people whose skin is a diff’rent shade,You’ve got to be carefully taught..You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late,Before you are six or seven or eight,To hate all the people your relatives hate,You’ve got to be carefully taught!.
