This hurricane season has been mild, to say the least. This is the first year I can remember when we have gotten into October without a hurricane. Maybe that is about to change, as we are watching a storm that everyone is convinced will soon organize into something bigger. The tracks I've seen has it coming ashore this weekend, somewhere between southeast Louisiana and Pensacola, FL.
At this point, everything is subject to change and we will have to keep an eye on it. If this thing organizes, it will become Cristobal.

On Oct. 1, a Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet that flew from the USS Abraham Lincoln on combat missions in the Iran war was spotted returning home to California with an unusual kill marking. Above rows of other icons representing bombs the plane had dropped was a submarine split in half, embossed with the words “Sub Buster.”
Three adults — two men and a woman — were held for questioning. Police said two of them, a man and a woman, came home that night and found Jones in a bed upstairs. A third man was already inside the home when they arrived and said he had not noticed anything unusual before Jones was found.
An argument broke out between the three men, and Jones was shot, police said. Jones did not appear to know any of the three adults involved, according to investigators.
On Friday afternoon, NOPD officials confirmed that the man who opened fire did so because the person was trying to break into his house. Officers believe he was defending himself and others during the incident.
They said the man who fired shots will not face charges and that he is cooperating with officers.

The post Preparedness Notes — October 6, 2026 appeared first on SurvivalBlog.com.
I have always had an active interest in survival. I have always tried to look at the big picture without bias. Previously, I prepared for vague, generalized threats. Within the last year, however, the world situation has dramatically changed – threats have become more specific, easily identifiable, significant, and realistic. In other words, the present world situation makes prepping more meaningful, practical, and necessary than ever before. We need to cast off our “Normality Bias” complacency of “everything is going to be okay, just like it’s always been” and take measured actions to prepare for what is probably coming. I’m …

10/3/26 Reuters describes how the Iranian rial has reached historic lows, which is what Trump is trying to do: crash their economy:
Mehdi Darabi, an aide to the central bank's governor on foreign exchange affairs, blamed the decline of the rial partly on what he said were false predictions by US officials of the collapse of the Iranian economy."It is suggested that the Iranian economy is about to crash... The enemy is using this to affect the exchange rate of our currency," Darabi told state TV, adding that the current fall of the rial was temporary.
We didn't get as much rain as expected this weekend, but it is cooling off. Overcast this morning with drizzle before daylight.
Shortly after daylight, I watched a teal make a low pass over the pond. He decided against it and headed toward Catahoula lake. Teal are a harbinger, being the first ducks to make the trip.
The shop is cool this morning, with one A/C unit running, and it has cycled off.
A lot less hummingbird traffic around the feeders this morning. The smart ones left yesterday, riding the northerly breeze southward.
It's not time to break the flannel out, quite yet, but it won't be long.
** UPDATE TO ADD: After a few minutes, I decided to make a test run on the propane heaters in the shop. Both Belle's big heater and my small one passed the initial start-up.
Best-selling author, commercial airline pilot, and retired air crash investigator L.B. Johnson knows exactly how she got here. She just never expected to arrive quite so soon.
In The Serenity Chronicles, Johnson turns her attention from wreckage to reflection. A bout of septic shock and its lasting consequences forced her to reconsider not only the future she had imagined after retirement, but the very meaning of time. Rather than measure life by what remained, she chose to live more deliberately in the days she had.
Written as a series of candid, sometimes irreverent vignettes, this literary memoir wanders through subjects that initially seem wonderfully random, yet gradually reveal an unexpected coherence. Johnson considers the changing landscapes of the body, the ghosts of family history, the persistence of faith, the enduring gifts of love, and the peculiar indignities that aging so generously provides.
There is grief here, and an honest reckoning with mortality. But there is also laughter, gratitude, and the recognition that even an imperfect life can contain extraordinary beauty.
Johnson writes frankly about what aging takes away—and what it gives in return. Readers may wince in recognition, laugh at life’s absurdities, and find some part of their own journey reflected in these pages. Because being alive is an exercise in enduring surprise.
Sometimes, serenity is not found in knowing what comes next.
Sometimes, it is found in being willing to find out.
In armed self-defense training, “get off the X” means don’t be standing still in a gunfight. The theory is that a static target is easier for your opponent to hit. True enough, but the totality of the circumstances is sometimes such that “standing your ground” and shooting from a solid stance is the defender’s best […]As Love continued to assault her, the victim’s daughter tried to stop him, before he also struck the teen.
The 28-year-old man was shopping in the store when he saw the assault. He grabbed his firearm and attempted to stop Love from further assaulting the victim, according to VPD. The victim was then able to get away from Love.
The bystander attempted to hold Love at gunpoint when Love charged at him and began to hit him. The man discharged his firearm once and struck Love, according to the press release.
