THE ALABAMA STORY: It is a story of no huge changes in the weather
over the next 5 to 7 days and your chance of getting wet on any one day is
quite small. The possible exception could be Friday afternoon and Friday
night when there will be some scattered showers and thunderstorms.

We expect mostly sunshine tomorrow. The chance of rain is so small
that we left it out of the forecast. A few showers and storms may show up
late Thursday, but again our better chance will be on Friday.

I agree with James Spann that 90 degrees is my switchover from warm
to hot. I have used that value for years. It is true that upper 80s, with a
lot of humidity, is going to feel hot also. For the next 5 to 7 days, we see
high temperatures mostly in the upper 80s, but as high as 90 Saturday.

AT THE BEACH: Probably a string of cars headed toward the beach all
this week. The weather looks good for tomorrow all the way through Sunday.
Highs should be between 85 and 89 inland, but several degrees cooler along
the immediate beach area due to the nice daytime effect of a sea breeze. The
chance of a shower or thunderstorm is quite small each day. Most areas will
remain dry.

DATELINE ALASKA: There is no place in the world that offers such a
great contrast of weather, geography and topography. Did you know that if
you could drive from the western tip of the Aleutians all the way down to
the south coast of Alaska, it would be equal to driving from Miami to Los
Angeles? At Barrow, there is still 6 inches of snow on the ground, but many
sections of Alaska have none. At Valdez, 244 inches of snow fell this past
winter and spring, but their total on the ground now is zero. At Barrow,
there will not be another sunrise or sunset until August 2-24 hours of
daylight. The low in Alaska this morning was 23 at Anaktuvuk. That is
counting only populated areas. On Mt. McKinley, which has an elevation of
20,320 feet, temperatures at the 17,000-foot level will drop to 25 below
zero tonight with winds of 40 to 60 mph.

ROAMING THE GLOBE: If the temperature drops to 99 below zero at
Vostok, Antarctica with projected winds averaging 22 mph, the wind chill
will be an incredible 184 below zero...coldest temperature in the lower 48
this morning was 26 at Vanderbilt, Michigan...in Northern Arizona, Flagstaff
went through much of the winter with virtually no snow. They finally got a
total of 45 inches, which is an amazing 65 inches below normal.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I answered the phone and the lady was
a telemarketer. She wanted to send us for x-number of days and nights free
to the resort of our choice. "Great," I said, "please send us to either
Cheaha State Park or DeSoto State Park." There was a long silence. She
finally said, "Sir, we were thinking more like Orlando or Vegas." "Not
interested," I said. Little did she know that she had reached a guy who is
very happy with the simple things and simple places of life. I credit that
to my upbringing in Havana Junction. We learned very early to enjoy the most
simple things. Even if

I had changed, when Little Miss Molly strolled into our house 3
years ago to live with us, she would have quickly corrected me. Molly flew
down from Salt Lake and when she walked in our door, there were about 10
people in our living area. She walked past several to reach me, stood on her
hind legs with her front paws on my knee with that little tail swishing and
looking me right in the eye. I instantly became her slave. All Miss Molly
asks is to take her on a walk and play 500 ballgames each day. I enjoy every
moment of both. Life goes on and it is a delight with Miss Molly.
