Yes, I'm starting another thread as the other one has been
hijacked and is heading into twilight zone territory.

It started raining here before midnight, just enough to get
everything wet, then went into a steady, no let up, soaking
rain. It's presently a steady rain and will be this way all
day, but for myself, I don't mind. We desperately needed
this rain, but no high winds as of yet and no flooding.

It looks like I will be donning my water skis for todays'
errands. Helene will also provide my every Friday car
wash this week.

When I was a teenager we lived in a riverside flood
zone, and whenever there was a flood warning, Mother moved
the car to higher ground, out of reach.

Thanks to climate change our old house gets flooded
often now; here's a pic of it underwater in 2020; probably
a foot of water all through the ground floor.

It's the one on the far side of the 3-sections white

My home village near the source of the R. Deben is occasionally
flooded seriously. Then the council cleans out the river bed
which helps for a few years until neglect allows the channel
to silt up whereupon another flood occurs.
I understand the last one was a result of Storm Babet.

Some people around here have pointed to the local streams flooding as
being related to global climate change. We are situated next to a
natural drain. The town cleared the drain shortly before we moved here
and we had no flooding. About 30 years ago they did a major cleanup,
digging the streams deeper and wider. Since that time there has been a
lot of vegetation growing on, branches and broken trees falling into it
and wood and vegetation clogging culverts. They started talking about
clearing out the drains again about 6 years ago, just about the time my
new neighbour moved it. They have all the engineering reports and have
figured out everyone's bills for the report. Next will be the assessment
for our portions of the cost of the project. Maybe one day they will
get around to actually clearing out the drain.

Considering that it is an ongoing issue I don't know why they haven't
just contracted an excavator to go through every couple years to clear
it out before it becomes a problem.

it also has a lot to do with changes in land use. instead
of having woodlands to soak up the rains and gradually release
them we have farmland which is drained, tubed and ditched to
get water out of there ASAP (which also lowers the groundwater
levels). humans are dumb, we're already writing a major
ecological crash into the future and that's going to mean a
lot fewer people eventually as the world will no longer be
able to support so many heavy feeders.

A bit of rain is good, hope it stops in moderation for you.

I was watching the news this morning. As I mentioned, we fared well,
but north of us had quite a bit of flooding where it never flooded
before and over a million people with no power.

I will take the opportunity to rub it in about our weather here because
I don't often get to do that. It is a beautiful day here. I am about to
head out on the motorcycle. On Monday we are heading north for a few
days to spend some time in Muskoka and hope to see the fall colours.
Timing that is always a bit of a trick. They are at their best sometime
between late September and early October. I few years ago we went up in
mid October and the leaves were all gone.

We have a lot of hardwood trees around here and get the colours. However
it is a much slower process. It goes on for about a month. Up there is
is a more dynamic change that happens over the course of a week or two
and the colours are dazzling. In Muskoka and Algonquin there are miles
and miles and miles of maples. It is spectacular. Then when they are
gone it is very dismal looking, mostly grey from the tree trunks and the
rock.

Fall has not even begun here, and we won't see any color changes

70's and low 80's for a good while. Depending on the jet stream
we might be in lightweight jackets in December. Ed will probably

Yes, the colors can be quite spectacular when it's not been a
dry summer.

When I had that maple tree in my front yard the grass catcher
was attached to my walk-behind lawn mower and it would chop
and suck up those leaves quickly. My yard had the appearance
that I'd just run over it with a Hoover vacuum cleaner. It
made very, very short work of that chore.

The dogwood sits at the very back of my yard and I just leave

I blow them away from the corners of the house where they tend to
accumulate and then flow them further from the house with either the
leaf blower or the lawn tractor. I get them over toward the road. Then
one day a really strong wind will blow them across to the neighbour's
nursery where they are welcome as compost.

Years ago I read an amusing book about a businessman who left the city
to take up farming. He had a field with too many rocks and and sought
advice on how to do it efficiently. One of his neighbours seemed to know
a lot about the various types of rock. There was one really massive rock
that the neighbour called Leaverite. He told the neighbour he had never
heard of that name. The farmer explained " Lever her right there".

I have too many leaves not to tend to them. I have a really huge maple
tree on my front yard and another good sized one on the west side of my
property, upwind from the house. Then there is a row of maples across
the road. If I don't get rid of most of the leaves they will gather in
nooks and crannies and decompose. If I get them over near the road they
will either blow downwind into my neighbour's nursery where they will be
welcome compost or they get sucked away by the passing vehicles.

Around here we call that "compost". Really, the best soil on my
property is under the shrubs where I put the leaves.

If I left them on the lawn, they'd kill the grass. I already have
enough bare spots.

dumped more heat and humidity.  It's uncomfortably hot here just when it
was starting to sort of cool off to the 80's.  I wear shorts and
sleeveless shirts pretty much year round, except at work where I wear
jeans and short sleeve shirts.

_Most_ winters I can get by with a nylon, flannel lined jacket.
If I do have to drag out the Antarctic coat it's just for a few
days.

My niece recently moved from Nashville to Vermont - her Antarctic coat
will definitely be needed there!

No doubt! That's quite the change in terms of needing cold weather
clothing.

Fall has not even begun here, and we won't see any color changes
for about a month.  Temperatures will stay in the comfortable
70's and low 80's for a good while.  Depending on the jet stream
we might be in lightweight jackets in December.  Ed will probably
still be in short sleeves as will Jill.

Your Highness should consider switching to a bikini (or a G-string) for
your work attire, and simply go nude at home.

You'd be much more comfortable, and I doubt anyone would notice at your age.

Modern cars have a lot of technology but seems you still can't drive
them in 2 feet of water.

Perhaps along with air-bags they should have added automatic water-wings. ;)

I was watching the news this morning. As I mentioned, we fared well,
but north of us had quite a bit of flooding where it never flooded
before and over a million people with no power.

Yes, I was just reading an article about several deaths due to
Helene and lots of flooding. A lot of power outages as well
in Florida and Georgia, but still no wind here and I'm fine
with that.

Yes, I'm starting another thread as the other one has been
hijacked and is heading into twilight zone territory.
It started raining here before midnight, just enough to get
everything wet, then went into a steady, no let up, soaking
rain.  It's presently a steady rain and will be this way all
day, but for myself, I don't mind.  We desperately needed
this rain, but no high winds as of yet and no flooding.
It looks like I will be donning my water skis for todays'
errands.  Helene will also provide my every Friday car
wash this week.

Just be careful of flooding areas! Sometimes it just looks like a
little bit of water on the street but you never know if there is a piece
of missing street underneath!

Hurricane Helene turned out to be a bit more of a problem here in South
Carolina than was expected. The electricity went out at my house few
times during the night but only briefly. But it got very windy and
there is storm debris all over the place. There are widespread
electrical outages in town included the building where I work so I
didn't go to work today.

I apologize Hank. After considering all the evidence, I have now concluded
that the sharks are the ones who should take care.

Fluid touched my skin in Stockholm too today. I'm heading back east now,
so I hope that the rain will not follow me there. On the other hand autumn
