I would like to say it is beautiful over Albuquerque tonight but our usual glorious night display is obscured by smoke from forest fires tonight.

I spent time in Houston back in 1989. They are still mopping up after Harvey. I spent time in Puerto Rico back in 1991 through 1993. They are getting smacked around by Irma.

I don't think I had anything to do with these disasters. After all, if you travel a lot things are bound to happen to some of those places. But, having made friends in those two wonderful places makes an impact and makes for great concern for those who live there. I lived for four years on the Gulf Coast of Florida, sunny Sarasota. Needless to say I am worried about my friends there too.

I've lived through two hurricanes. Elana in Florida and Jerry in Texas. I can tell you folks who have been fortunate enough to never experience storms of that magnitude that they are scary for real. There is nothing in my temperate climate experience to compare them to. Wind howls like no blizzard or nor'easter. Rain falls in sheets fiercer than any thunderstorm. Tornadoes spin off the system like confetti and power outages are just something to be expected. It is an awesome experience. Kids use the word 'awesome' to describe the mundane. I use it quite literally in that the power of nature in a hurricane inspires awe.

Some tracks of Irma suggest that she will eventually find her way, though substantially diminished, here by next weekend. We might expect rain and a stiff breeze. We are indeed lucky to live this far from the coast. We are indeed lucky to live far from any seismic fault lines. We are indeed lucky to live in a place blessed with abundant rainfall and not susceptible to,crippling drought.

I look forward to the winter and a fresh coat of snow. That muffles the sound, cuts down on the 'bumpkin factor', those knuckle heads zooming around on vehicles lacking a working exhaust system. Snow makes everything clean and even for a few days. The moon really does cast a luster of mid day in the night time.

Meanwhile Mom is doing great. Her new dentures are still something of a challenge for her and frustrating now because we are in the heart of sweet corn season. But she's getting out every day, luncheon no with her cronies, complaining about vegetable prices at farm markets and sitting on the back porch playing with her iPad.

My brother smoked a brisket on Labor Day. It was his first brisket having cut his teeth smoking pork shoulders and baby back ribs. He thought the brisket was not tender enough, but I found it tasty.

Anyway, continued,prayers for the brave Texans and the beleaguered Puerto Ricans. Both made me smile.

I made a promise to myself a few years ago. I promised that once I retired, I would never again eat lunch in a restaurant at noon nor frequent a doughnut shop before 9:00 am. Now that I'm retired, I can say I have kept my promise. Those working stiffs need all the breaks they can get.

 

[Ernie S.]

I like to go to the bank and cash in my 5 gallon bucket of change at noon on Thursdays.

Dang Peach. I had been watching your birthday come up for days and then yesterday just didn't make it conducive to be on line much and I missed it. But belatedly. . .

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SPECIAL PEACH174!!!!

Us Virgos have to stick together.

We had a little chipmunk in our garage yesterday. I saw it when I opened the garage to bring in the trash can in the early afternoon. When the little one got home from school, we looked for it, but didn't see it.

A bit later, I had her in the garage doing a little bit of cleaning of the door with a magic eraser, while I did cleaning in the kitchen. She yelled for me and came to get me. She said while she was cleaning she saw the chipmunk, and it grabbed her hand before running away. We found it climbing up the garage door rails. The little one got a small video of it.

I left the door open a crack, and later on we just left the door open completely, so it's almost surely long gone by now, but it was nice to have it there for the little one to ooh and aah over.
