It's really pretty out the window
of the public library branch:
clear blue sky
and puffy white clouds.

Most of the trees still have leaves on them,
although the leaves are starting to turn colors.

We have another hurricane barreling into the Gulf of Mexico. Nate formed down by the Yucatan Peninsula and headed north. Windy.

Heckuva hurricane season this time round.

If all goes as predicted, Hurricane Nate is going to strike us a rather weak glancing blow. Looks like they're expecting landfall in the Biloxi, Mississippi area, and we're about 150 miles east of there. We'll probably get a few inches of rain and 30-35 MPH winds with some higher gusts. Enough to merit securing blowables and preparing for the possibility of a few hours with no power, but no need to board the windows up.

What's left of Hurricane Nate has brought rain up north.
Just as well.
It's time for rain and wind, because early autumn has been dry.

Hi

We have been waiting to see what the tail end of Hurricane Ophelia has for us.

Like Dave we experienced brown skies and infrequent shots of a very red sun. The atmosphere was heavy.

Here in the North West of England we did not any wind all morning and in the afternoon I was able to mow my lawn. The the wind started and increased gradually all afternoon and now 7.30 pm we have a full gale. The strange thing is that we have not had any rain.

I have seen the news of Ireland North Wales ( Just got back on Saturday). My feelings go out to them and hope this passes very quickly. I understand Scotland is being buffeted by strong winds but as yet no serious damage done.

Since flying three time zones west and a little bit south,
the weather here is beastly hot.
I don't even want to open the one bag of luggage,
as my warm coat got squeezed in at the top --
don't even want to look at the coat.

But it will be needed going back home in a week's time.

I was in Prestwich on Monday, Mike, and saw that amazing dark morning sky and orange sun. Then in the early afternoon the sky cleared in a fresh wind and the rest of the day was fine and warm. We were up from Cornwall for three days to see Mother, staying at Bury Premier Inn. I completely forgot to put any kind of jacket in the car so all I had was shorts and shirts. Thankfully, the weather was unusually warm!

October in the California Sierra Foothills is fire weather, and the world feels like it could burst into flame at any moment. And then the first rainstorm came the other night, and everything looks fresh and pretty again. I think we've survived through another fire season.

Wildfires are the price of living in paradise. We've made it through another year.

All's well here. My lights flickered briefly. My stove clock needed resetting but my bedroom clock was okay. However, there are a lot of power outages. Many schools, including the ones in my town, were closed today; others have already announced they'll be closed again tomorrow.

My town was fortunate. What my town endured was just another storm, although longer and heavier than usual. Little damage.

Other places in eastern Massachusetts,
and around New England in general,
were very hard hit indeed.
Some areas are still without power / heat / and so on.

Tonight is official Halloween;
but in some cities and towns, everything is so badly upset
that the children's trick-or-treat night
has been postponed for several days
while the local authorities and the citizens
try to get a little closer returned to normal.

But here, the weather is ideal:
no rain whatever,
the day was sunny,
and the night is cool but not frigid.
No wind to speak of.

So there are small flocks and troops of people,
some in costume, some are adult chaperones in street clothes,
trudging along the residential-street sidewalks,
making spectacles of themselves,
and doing the rounds of homes to collect sweets.

I haven't seen any glow-in-the-dark costumes yet as I drive by.
There was one spectacular carnivorous Jurassic-Park style dinosaur,
with this humungous papier-mache head that was
sitting ON TOP of the head of the person in the outfit.
Whoever was in there, was looking out through the upper chest.
Big ole tail dragging on the ground too.

Some small children as superheroes with shiny capes that they swish about.

Not a few living-dead zombie types.

The landlord's e-mail response is

Meanwhile we have had a minor earthquake on the other side of the bay.



The political climate here has apparently turned liberals into virulent hot heads.
As some of you suspect I am the real life Larry David who says the wrong thing at the right time. Over the last decade I have identified with our English cousins here to the point I think in terms of a UK perspective in everything from driving on the LEFT to feeling exasperated with Brexit voters.

So I am in the Christmas decorated Mall walking into Pennys when a cute couple are walking out blocking me from entering on the right. I go to the 'extreme right' against the 'wall' to enter.
But I had to open my mouth. Avoiding a collision I said "I'm an American, I even walk on the right". The couple's smiles turned downward and three seconds later from behind me they both yelled " FUCK YOU ". I figured out why they thought I was a Trump Nazi type, but felt good about their leftist gumption. My wife however was appalled and the incident further strengthened her opinion that I am a closet right wing bigot.

cue Curb your Enthusiasm music.
