* 106 is how many inches of rain has fallen on Mt. Waialeale, Hawaii in only the last three weeks. They only got 1.67 inches in December. (Thanks to Chuck Biddinger for calling this to my attention.)
* 63 inches fell at Poamoho on the island of Oahu in only three weeks.
* 1 is the number of chitlins that James Spann ate while on camera at the Winston County Chitlin Eating Association in Arley last night (you should have seen the extreme contorted look on his face as he swallowed it)
* 300 is the estimated number of chitlins I ate as a kid in rural West Alabama. (See denial at end of this paragraph) Chitlins were often mixed in with cornmeal to make cornbread more tasty. PS: I was WRONG. Thanks to Chloe's note below. It was CRACKLINS, not chitlins. So I have never had a chitlin in my life. That note made my day. Cheers...and I will never have one knowingly.
* 8 below zero was the lowest temperature in the lower 48 this morning at Cook, Minnesota.
* 28 below zero was the coldest in Alaska at Northway.
* 90 was the hottest yesterday at Laredo and McAllen in South Texas.
* 30 is what percentage Little Miss Molly looks smaller after getting her summer trim yesterday. She looks like a long narrow swamp rat.
* 29 was the low at Dalhart in the Texas Panhandle this morning. That should help in the fighting of those brushfires.
* 2 (or more) inches is how much rain may fall in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area today through Sunday and maybe through Monday. It is sorely needed.
* I am going to try to persuade James Spann to eat some more chitlins while I photograph him close up. Might even pay him a dollar a chitlin just to see the weird look on his face.
