1. “The atmosphere and Atlantic Ocean are primed for high hurricane activity during August through October,” said Gerry Bell, Ph.D., lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at the Climate Prediction Center. “Storms through October will form more frequently and become more intense than we’ve seen so far this season.”Why? the tropical multi-decadal signal(the natural ebb and flow of hurricane activity-we are in the high activity era right now which started in 1995 and could last for 19 more years), exceptionally warm Atlantic Ocean temperatures (the third warmest on record); and the possible redevelopment of La Niña. Reduced vertical wind shear and lower air pressure across the tropical Atlantic also favor an active season.
2. The brightly colored yellow finches you see in the summer time are the males. Their feathers will turn more olive color like the females in the winter. The bright color is to attract a mate during breeding season.
3. There are 90 days between the first cicada chirping and the first frost.
4. There is only one WWII Consolidated B-24 Liberator still flying in the world.
5. Recipe: I just received my grandmother's recipe box and in it was a recipe for "Library Paste".
Ask someone older than you for a definition if you don't know what it was used for: 1 cup unsifted flour; 1 cup sugar; 1 Tablespoon alum; 4 cups water. Mix smooth and cook until clear, preferably in a double boiler. Add 30 drops of oil of clove. Put in jar.
