A Few Treasures And A Real Weather Prize

You never know what you'll see in the Tennessee River. The pile of junk that local divers pulled out of the river on Oct. 1st shows how bad things are. But every once in awhile there's an item or two that's kind of neat. On Sunday members of the CUDA club spent some time underwater near the Veteran's Bridge. Some unusual bottles were found, along with a rather interesting bowl, an old Log Cabin bottle, AND two anchors. One of them got tangled up and the owner broke the rope. The other anchor ended up in the river the way many probably do. Boat owner to deck hand/friend, "O.K., this is where we're stopping. Do you mind dropping that anchor over the side?" Deck hand/friend, "No problem." SPLASH! Boat owner, "Ummm was that anchor tied down?" Deck hand/ex-friend, "Oops. Nope."
I hate to admit it, but it was a little stuffy in the house last evening so I turned the AC back on. I would rather have the windows open, but I sleep better with the air on. (And on this shift sleep is crucial.) Yesterday Chattanooga went to 82. Today and Friday we should go into the lower 80s again. We should be 73! A front will push through Friday night into early Saturday morning without rain and meager cooling. Look for highs in the mid to upper 70s Saturday through Monday.
So the weather is the real prize in this forecast treasure hunt even if it is warmer and drier than average.
By the way the average 1st frost in Chattanooga is Oct. 21st. The average 1st freeze is Nov. 1st.
