RE: weather

I think that you can use a break in the heavy, nasty weather, Jim.  I know
everyone along the gulf coast could use a respite as well to get the
rebuilding and recuperation done.

Weather is a bit odd here, though I'm not complaining.  We've only had one
or two 90 F. days and usually by July we have had a string of them up to
100+ for 2-3 days.  I'm so glad it hasn't happened this week as with all
this rain, we'd have a real steam bath with little breeze to move the air.

We, on the other hand, seem to be getting normal monsoon season
weather--unlike the last 2 or 3 years--rush-hour showers, some rather
fierce, nearly every day. Also of note: there are two hurricanes in the
Pacific, Bud and Carlotta, but not so much as a tropical wave in the
Atlantic-Caribbean-Gulf of Mexico... yet. Quite a departure from the past
several years.
