1st Thursday In October in the Tropics & Miami Beach

There are a few waves out there and areas of interest that people are watching. But, nothing much is really going on.

Some of the bigger topics being discussed are:

Dr. Gray's Forecast. Not giving away the ending..read it yourself, the link is below!

Dr. Gray's forecast for the month of October which is put together by Dr. Phil, not the other Dr. Phil who does the self-help shows or Punxsutanwney Phil but our Dr. Phil Klotzbach the weather Dr. Phil who works his hardest to bring out the CSU/Dr. Gray Forecast we have come to know and love.

Phil is the one of the right, with reddish hair. Not to be confused with Dr. Gray who is beginning to look like Sting..the musician not the bee. Bzzz..anways...

If you aren't happy with that... try this one:

Next... there are a lot of people unaccounted for still from Ike and there is a question of a few hundred people who are still missing. Were they washed out to sea or did they get out at the last minute to safety and never thought of calling the local news media? Are they floating somewhere at the bottom of the Gulf Of Mexico? Will we find bits and pieces of their lives the way we are Steve Fosset?

Yes.. people are talking on Steve Fosset whose plane seems to have been found..or parts there of as it slammed into a mountain. Where is Steve remains the question? Like the missing people from Galveston and Bolivar Peninsula?

Then there are the waves.. one out in the Atlantic and one in the SW Caribbean Sea. Historically I don't love that area as I find it hard.. to ummm really pin down and every will of a wispy cloud seems to be a big tease and nothing much ever happens and yet... in October.. November you get these systems that do form and zoom off to the NE or ENE out towards Open Water..



I don't know.. I don't see anything really forming to write home about but maybe in a few days, beginning of next week?

None of these waves have formed completely nor have they decided who to vote for but so far they are debt free and not being affected by the economy so ..that's good.

As for me... I'm working late tonight and then going home to watch the debates.

Rosh Hashona was sweet, wonderful, beautiful.. nice, one of the nicest I have had in a while.

May you all be blessed with a beautiful, happy year..

I'll be back tomorrow.. if and when I can find something to write about that is topically tropical!

Ps..

view of the trucks out on Miami Beach ...water has receded and they had the video trucks out checking out the sewers I suppose.. don't think all is that well in paradise but the City isn't saying if it isn't!
