A Great Big (Huge) Breath of Fresh Air

Don't know about you, but I wish we could can today's air over Alabama into a 500 trillion (no zillion) gallon jug and release it in intervals during July and August.

Won't have too many more morning like this until we will be waking up to low temperatures of 72 and 74 with dew points around 70. Hurry on October. Yeah, I know that is wishing my life away.

No stupendous low temperatures this morning, even for early April.

Howsomever (there is that Snuffy Smith expression again) we list below some low temperatures this morning. To keep the list shorter, these are places that had lows in the 30s and 40s.

36 in Black Creek and Vic Bell reports frost on windshields
36 also in Hamilton, Fort Payne, Vinemont (Cullman Airport)
37 in Meridianville
38 in Crossville
39 in Crudup
40 in Pinson and Gaylesville
41 in Decatur
42 in Jasper, Huntsville, Desoto State Park
43 in Addison, Muscle Shoals, Birmingham
44 in Alexander City, Wedowee
45 at Centreville, Heflin, Auburn, Tuscaloosa, Albertville
46 in Ashville, Clanton
47 at Livingston, Horseshoe Bend, Anniston, Troy
49 in Montgomery and at Shelby County Airport (Birmingham NWS)

BET YOU WONDER
Where Crudup is? (Their low this morning 39) We get daily reports from there. It is an Alabama temperature and rainfall station in a beautiful deep valley in NE Alabama. It is a very small community in the Little Wills Valley north of Gadsden. Naturally on clear, still nights, the colder air, being heavier, sinks into places like that. Maybe Jason Simpson will plot them on his TV map one morning and explain how Crudup got that name. I love the way Jason does that during Good Morning Alabama.

BACK IN SERVICE
Sure good to be communicating with the world again after nearly three days being dead in the water as far as Internet and E-Mail was concerned. Thanks to James Spann and Steve Elliott (my son) for getting me rolling again. Especially James who spent several hours at mid-day yesterday doggedly checking every possible flaw that had me grounded. When I win the $10 Million Publishers Clearing House (which I haven't entered) I am going to put both those guys on a retainer fee. I have also changed Internet providers and email. My new email address is:

jbelliott@centurytel.net
...or
jb.elliott@theweathercompany.com

The weathercompany address defaults to centurytel

That concludes JB's test. Had this been an actual email you would have received multiple emails from spammers, "fwds" from everyone who has you in their mailbox, hoaxes from everyone that doesnt know what Snopes.com is and last but not least, had you not sent all of those emails to 1500 of your closest friend, you computer would have melted.
:)
That was only a test

Feel your pain J.B. - my cable modem has been dropping connections every couple hours, and Charter has been no help. They have the nerve to tell me that my 3 computers, plus the computer I had just reformatted for a friend, plus my Tivo, all had spyware and/or virus problems. That all started at the same time. Despite preventative software. Despite the fact Tivos don't succumb to virii or spyware.

Hey Mac I was having trouble with ours Thursday night. When I called them they put me on hold for 1 hour I just about hung up but someone came to the phone. Well they did some test and said the modem was having problems so they sent someone out on Saturday and it seems to be fine now.

I have had a BIG PROBLEM with Charter. Every day since hurricane Katrina, my connection has been out sevral times a day. I call them all the time but they said they were working on it. I am looking to switch to Bright House Networks. I am not from here and don't now much about Bright House, is it good? Or is there any other ISP I should try?

Thanks

Hey Kenny why don't you try fast access from Bellsouth? my brother has it and loves it and the people down the street from us have it. I have got on my brother's computer with the bellsouth and the speed is the same as charter so try it.
