IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER: We wished a number of times last Autumn and Winter
that we could bottle up some of the sparkling, clear, cool air and release
it on a day like today. That's foolish thinking, of course, but it sure
would be nice.

We are in what is normally the hottest part of the summer and I believe the
old thermometer hanging on the chinaberry tree knows it. Afternoons will
gradually get hotter. Scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms will
help rein in the temperature a bit, but by the end of the week we could see
some of our hottest temperatures so far this year. This is especially true
on Saturday and Sunday when showers and thunderstorms become rather scarce.
We are calling for a high of 96 by Saturday.

A few thunderstorms were already in progress early this afternoon. Those
will lollygag around through the evening. Yesterday some slow-movers over NE
Jefferson County dumped well over an inch of rain in Center Point and
Huffman. The Center Point Fire Department had to do a water rescue at Turkey
Creek Park near Pinson.

HURRICANE EMILY: She continues to approach the extreme NE coast of Mexico
or possibly the lower coast of Texas and she is growing stronger. She was
around 300 miles SE of Brownsville, Texas this afternoon and moving WNW at
14. The National Hurricane Center still thinks she will jog a bit more
toward the west and go into Mexico instead of extreme South Texas. However,
a Hurricane Warning is in effect northward to Port Mansfield, Texas. Her
sustained winds were up to 95 mph. It is still possible that she could
become a major Category 3 hurricane before landfall early Wednesday morning.
Buoy 42002 in the West Gulf, was reporting east winds to 63 mph and 26-foot
waves at midday.

THE BOILING DESERT: Some places have reported record highs the last few
days. Even atop Mt. Wilson outside Los Angeles there was a record 100...the
hottest yesterday was 128 in Death Valley...the high and low in Phoenix in
the last 24 hours was 116/91. Last night a thunderstorm produced a
microburst in the Phoenix area putting 35,000 people without power. At
Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, wind gusts reached 77 mph...other highs
yesterday included 123 at Bullhead City, Arizona and 124 in Needles,
California...the 119 at Indio, California was the hottest ever recorded. But
let's give at least one cool temperature-the national low this morning was
36 at Stanley, Idaho in the heart of the Sawtooth Mountains.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: When a little 9-pound super energetic puppy
with an oversized curiosity, like little Miss Molly, is around, you have to
be more careful. We learned long ago to keep facial tissue, ballpoint pens,
shoes and socks out of reach, not to mention toilet paper. She has been
known in the past to destroy a full roll of toilet paper and create a
blizzard in the bathroom. Despite my being careful, I found a gem clip under
my desk that was badly twisted. It was obvious little Miss Molly did it. I
am so thankful that she didn't swallow it. I can't imagine that little girl
having to have stomach surgery to remove a foreign object. So, from now on,
I won't get a gem clip out of my desk until time to use it. I still have to
keep my upscale National Geographic blanket out of reach, but she hasn't
tried to steal my upscale pillow lately! Life goes on.
