How's This For A Global Warming Warning
Watching the Weather Channel last evening they pointed out that Sunday's weather is to be hotter (+90 F) in one of the nation's icebox locations (International Falls, MN) than in one of the oven locations (mid-80s in Phoenix, AZ)

Hey, with 6/6/06 less that two weeks away, this could be a sign.

Anyway, they tell us this is the nicest Memorial Day Weekend weather we've had in 18 years. I'll take it!
