On our way home we stopped at the post office to pick up mail and any gossip - got some of the former, but none of the latter. The last couple of times I've been in Diane has been having a hard time struggling with addresses for people who have left without changing their address or simply aren't known here. I can sometimes be of help if it's a Joe's Ponder, and I've provided a JPA directory in the past, but the problem persists and Diane said it would be a big help if people remembered to stop in or send a "Change of Address" card before they leave for the winter. If you haven't already done that, she has no way of knowing where to send your mail, so do let her know where you'll be even if you go the same place every year. She really needs to have notification so your mail will not languish in your box here when you are relaxing in the sunshine some place else. Diane is always so upbeat and smiling, sometimes we don't realize there's anything troubling her, but you'll make her smile even brighter by filing a change of address when you leave - and of course do the same at the other end before you leave to come back in the spring.
We have some real fall weather now, with temperature in the low 50's today and a chilly wind that made it feel much cooler. We didn't get frost last night at our house, but I'm sure some folks did. It's kind of nice to have cooler weather and also having had some rain, it may mean the autumn color will finally break out in earnest. Autumn on the Green is coming up on Sunday in Danville, and it looks as if it might be a pretty nice day for it since Joaquin seems to be heading further east than expected. You'll need to wear some warm layers to be comfortable if you plan to spend some time browsing all the vendors on Sunday, but at least we should stay dry. However, some coastal areas are still going to experience problems, according to weather experts. Here is a very informative site, Anatomy of a Hurricane, and good information on how to be prepared.
