Watched film late last night... it was a bit western down there. We have had some wind cooler temps and clouds here. South of Birmingham had some rain when I went to bed.

Coffee is up here, this morning.

Seems to have drawn most of the rain out of here for now... still calling for 35% chance this evening

Glad you are fairing well..Roo

have had a light mist so far...

[Major E A Sterner]

The weather liars are saying that for the next 10 days, we'll have sunny skies and temps ranging from low 60's to mid 70's during the day and low of 40 to high of 53 during the night. Perfect autumn weather.
My friend in Foley Alabama sent me a text this morning, water is starting to come into her house by one of the windows and power has been going in and out all night. Cell service is the same. Please keep them in your thoughts during this storm. Thanks.

The other day Roo mentioned the Movie "Emperor"  with Tommy Lee Jones 

I decided to watch it, I won't say it was great film, but it did keep my interest , and showed a aspect of the post WWII I had not recalled seeing...

There are some post WWII Japan films ...I recall a comedy or two one with Glen Ford , and a musical I think.

"Emperor" however showed the devastation brought down to force Japan to surrender... worth a look see .

Slept about 11 hours last night, woke up feeling like I haven't felt in a long time, not going to over do it but have done as much in the last hour than I do most days.   Lexie wants my homemade pancakes for supper, got some good local made bacon to go with it.    Riley got in trouble for barking in French class today, squeaky toys in English yesterday.      Guess the teachers love him because he is so good most the time.

Funny you mention , that ....

I saw that a Kid has police called & had been suspended, all because he had played with a toy gun during his virtual art class.

The virtual art class he was viewing, AT HOME ! 
suspended for five days and now has a record with the El Paso County Co. Sheriff's Office and a mark on his school disciplinary paperwork saying he brought a "facsimile of a firearm to school"  at his OWN HOME !

Seriously ....

and another case also in Colorado ...
GOLDEN, Colo. (KDVR) – A sixth grade student at Bell Middle School in Golden is suspended from school for four days, according to his parents, for handling his Airsoft gun during a Zoom school session earlier this week.

That's a serious overreach.

A little more involved on the one, seems he was waving it around and has record of being a troublemaker.

There has been a couple incidents with virtual schooling and the overreach of so called educators. This is a family forum I will respect that.

Major2 - like you on the movie. Not a great movie but it kept me interested.  I am glad I watched it.

Major S. It is really tore up down in that area. Crews are working around the clock to repair it. J
Just started raining here about a hour ago. Have had a few misty showers earlier. Nothing serious.

Updated: Sally has marched towards Atlanta at this hour.

Btw it was on this day in 2004 Hurricane Ivan devastated this same area

Update my sister is still in ICU they have not pin pointed her real trouble yet. I thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.


Good night
 

[Major 2]

Thanks Roo ...a fine reminder

And when they take a knee ... these elitist players, they turn me away
So called sport jocks or entertainment hacks , use "their" moments,  to focus the attention on them.
And lets be honest , it is about THEM

I turn away , they are not heroes.... just media darlings, flash in the pan opportunists .

Major 2 I agree as well


Coffee is brewing.

Sun is trying to peek through this morning. I don't believe we got a inch of rain here. However it is Going to be a mess along Sally's path. 

The people that took care of the fallen tree here last spring are standing by to head where needed the most. They have a bucket truck and other equipment.

If Y'all could keep a friend of mine in your thoughts and prayers,I would appreciate it, Liz lives just off the coast in Alabama where hurricane sally hit them dead on. Her daughter who lives 2 miles away lost everything and Liz has some damage to her house. They are closing the island they live on until 9/26 and electricity will be out for at least another week. Her water supply might last 1 more day.She and her family are good people that could use a little help right now. Thank you all in advance
