Good morning!!
Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
TROPICAL DEPRESSION IVAN ADVISORY #69
[Used in lieu of normal NHC graphic, which was not available.]
DISCUSSION
...IVAN POORLY ORGANIZED...MIGHT STRENGTHEN A LITTLE BEFORE REACHING TEXAS...
IVAN shows little sign of the normal organization associated with a tropical system (maybe because it is really a cut off LP system trying to behave as a tropical system?). There might be some strengthening before it reaches the coast, but the window for that to occur is closing.
IVAN is being steered by the strong mid-level HP center to its north. That center is forecast to weaken over the next 24 hours, and IVAN will slow after it makes landfall.
Rainfall amounts of 5 to 10 inches are possible along and to the right of the track of IVAN, which may result in life-threatening flash floods.

In the news...
Senator John Effin says that the draft would return if Bush is re-elected.
The Washington Pravda is accusing the Bush campaign of flip-flops since it targets one thing about Kerry, then something else, only to return to the first item.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Hubby was in a rather blah mood last night...feeling swamped with responsibilities. I showed him that "News Report From Iraq." It got him laughing. Very funny stuff.
Didn't mean to vent, but it just astonishes me to hear such things.
Good Morning. 8 hrs of sleep will do wonderful things for a body.
Soybean harvest was halted by rain around 6:00 last night.
I'm off to check the news.
Good morning.
Just now watched the "film" clip. It was great.
NY, the liberal press repulses me. I just can't understand why anyone would watch them.
Good morning IG.
Seems as though we harvested our soybeans in Aug. The only way I can remember is if we had a good crop, we'd have a little extra $$ to spend at the county fair, and that was held in mid Aug.
Good for you.
Maybe some day I'll be able to do the same.:(
BTW.............Private Boychild is now Pfc. Boychild.:) :) :)
With retroactive pay coming (someone dropped the ball in Texas.)
Just 25 min north of you. Opelousas. This is great.
Just above Galveston Is.,on the mainland, about where that light purple spot is, or just to the n.w. of that spot :-), is where I lived as a young girl.
Thanks for posting it!
