Re: RAIN
On the other side of the thermometer, in Tucson, one of the local TV stations runs a pool on when the ice will break up on the "river" (usuallly a dry river bed except for occasional times during the rainy season) there. This is local euphemism for the temperature hitting 100 for the first time in the year. I am informed that it was up to 99, but has not hit 100 yet as of last Saturday.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Is it Friday yet? It *is* after 5:00...

Peter - this one's for you: the ice on the Tanana River went out yesterday
AM, tipping the tripod at 10:47 AST. At least 18 people will split the pot
of $335,000. Thus concludes this year's chapter of the Nenana Ice Classic,
Alaska's oldest lottery (ah, the things we do for amusement up on the
Last Frontier!) ttfn - Jill.
