Our first cold front of the fall season is now approaching the LFT area. Our local National Weather Service (NWS) office had initially forecast scattered thunderstorms and rainshowers associated with the front with no severe weather anticipated. However, that changed today with the front now producing severe thunderstorms with large hail possible along with damaging winds plus the threat of waterspouts over the coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico - my weather radio has been going crazy this afternoon due to repeated NWS severe weather warnings being broadcast. Right now, it appears the worst of the storms will pass just west of us with no flooding anticipated in the LFT area - we certainly hope so! The pay off will be nice fall weather following the front with much cooler daytime air temps coupled with lower humidity and lower dewpoints.

And as for little Teddy, perhaps a tactical lack of battery issue might be the remedy......

Plus, good news today from a good friend who has GS top elite status with UA as he has now arranged for us to be placed on the list for possible upgrades to the front cabin on a couple of flights concerning our trip from LFT to PPT several weeks from now. Hopefully, the upgrades will clear as it's a lonnnngggg way from south Louisiana to Tahiti......
