VoIP or VOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOL
What is it? Can I really cut my phone bills in half?
http://www.SaveOnVoIP.com

VoIP is the new technology that is quickly revolutionizing the phone
industry. VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, allows you to make
telephone calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular
or analog phone line. VoIP can save you hundreds of dollars off your annual
phone bill.

Now there is a website to help consumers understand this new technology.
SaveOnVoIP.com eliminates any confusion with a comparison chart and
objective opinions of the leading providers as well as a thorough
"Frequently Asked Questions" page that explains VoIP. There are well over
100 providers of VoIP, but some companies provide superior customer support,
more dependable service and are financially stable.

Learn about this new technology and how to save hundreds of dollars!

ONE MORE MILD DAY: And then some cooler air will arrive. The cold
front was pushing down into North Texas this afternoon. It should come
through Central Alabama at some point Thursday and drop our temperatures
into the mid 40s Thursday night and Friday morning. Our lowest temperatures
should be early Saturday. We are projecting an average low of 37 across
Central Alabama.

HOW ABOUT RAIN? There is just not much promise. As the transition
starts taking place tomorrow, there should be few if any showers. The next
chance after that would be a small chance Sunday night or Monday.

SPRING WARMTH: The temperature soared into the 70s over most of
Alabama this afternoon, including mid 70s in some areas. Tomorrow's highs
will back off to the low and mid 60s.

PLAIN HOT IN THE PLAINS: It was just like summer in parts of the
Central Plains this afternoon. By 2:00 p.m., the temperature had soared to
97 at Wichita Falls in North Texas. It was 93 in Abilene and around 91 at a
number of other places in North Texas and Oklahoma.

AROUND THE WORLD: We saw a report this morning of 76 below zero at
a station in Greenland. We are convinced that was an error. Scared me for a
moment...it is still plenty cold in Alaska. It was 50 below zero at
Chandalar Lake...at Barrow on the north coast, it was 43 below with a wind
chill of 65 below and it was 67 below wind chill in Nuiqsut. Certainly not a
good day to hang out the wash or go on a picnic...looks like rain is missing
Phoenix again today, so this will probably be their 134th day in a row with
not a drop of rain. That has never occurred before in recorded
history.lowest temperature in the lower 48 this morning was 13 below at
Caribou and Presque Isle, Maine...Bettles, Alaska had 44 below with 28
inches of snow on the ground.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly has almost seized
total command of my recliner. Looks like I am going to have to schedule
opportunities to take power naps. The recliner is the same color she is, so
she just disappears...a funny thing happened at 11:07 a.m. The weather radio
alarm went off (weekly test). Molly, in a deep sleep, stood up immediately
with her hair all messed up and headed for one of her safe places because of
the noise. I cuddled her to get her to calm down, so she returned to the
recliner and slept another hour...on our walk, first thing she did was to
dive into a teenage cedar tree where she jumped a little community rabbit
the other night. The tree limbs were all the way down to the ground, so only
her rear end was sticking out with her tail wagging. She did scare a bird
out of the tree, but no rabbit...lots of birds singing this morning-almost
an ensemble. One bird was a lot louder than the others. He must have been
the choir director and reminded me of Dennis Altzimer, our Music Director at
Huffman Baptist. Life goes on, even if I never get a nap in my recliner.
