Ortiz magic at Fenway last night
Warning non weather rant... How appropriate I thought for my 500th posting. I thought I would write a thank you letter to the Boston Red Sox for a great season. How we fell just a little short this year, you know out played by a better team in the Tampa Bay Rays, injuries to key players, etc etc. Then the 7th, 8th and 9th innings happened last night and the unimaginable is occurring this morning, I am thanking them for another miraculous October comeback. I will let the sports blogs deal with the details but we chopped our way out of the grave last night to beat the Rays 8-7 after trailing them 7-0. Not sure how much more I can take but thank you Boston for departing Fenway on such a high note. And like previous comebacks, if it falls short, you still showed the guts and determination that has made me a loyal fan since the late 70's.
• Oh and how about the weather. This morning was very chilly in Kemptville and the region. We are currently at 0C and another hard frost occurred. The ground is white and the leaves are really beginning to tumble. This weekend will be sunny and cool but very pleasant for outdoor activities. Next week will be chilly with rain and even the hint of a flurrie or two is not out of the question.
• Hurricane Omar developed rapidly and surprisingly this week and ballooned into a Category three storm before skirting the lesser Antilles and coming back down to a Tropical Storm this morning. There was serious damage but so far no reports of loss of life. Omar will drift north well east of Bermuda today.

Are we to presume that the two posts that were deleted were ones made in dedication to an unrequited love or an old flame that has left you particularly bitter or one of the many weather predictions that has called for sunshine, lollipops and rainbows, Everything that's wonderful... only for it to storm and the power to go out
