What happened ????????????

[Steve Jardine]

Welcome back Skippy,

Heat? Dry? Well, here in Arizona it is business as usual. A little wetter than normal.. 

We have had a record number of 110 degree (43 degrees C) days here. Humidity at about 33%. But that is pretty normal in a desert. However, man Minn. through to Texas - they could give you meters of water!!

It is funny, Brownesville Texas was always the hot spot when I was a kid. Now, it is wet, wet, wet!!

I saw a TV program regarding the day the Sun went away in - I think Brisbane.. It was from a "monster" sand storm. We get those maybe 6 to 7 times a year hear.. I guess if I saw a tornado here I would be surprised as well..

Steve
