* 1.65 inches of rain overnight at Pontotoc, Miss., in the NE part of the state west of Tupelo
* 5.24 inches of rain at Winona, Miss., at junction of U.S. 82 and I-55. Nice kudzu country.
* 1.50 inches at Fayetteville, Ark., and 1.49 in Baton Rouge
* 112 was the hottest in the USA yesterday in Death Valley
* 25 was the low this morning down here in the Lower 48, West Yellowstone, Mont.
* 25 inches is what meteorologist estimate would be the average annual rainfall in Hawaii if the islands were flat. However, mountains and the NE trade winds say otherwise
* 486 inches--over 40 feet--is the average annual rainfall for Mt. Waialeale on the island of Kauai, making it the wettest spot on earth. The mountains milk rich moisture out of the NE trade winds because they are forced to rise.
* 50 is the approxmate percentage of the entire Middle East that is considered barren desert.
* 3 is how many cups of coffee I have had so far today. For come reason, my coffee drinking has dropped off greatly in the last several weeks. I have no idea why.
FINAL NOTES (NOT WORTH READING)
* Walked into one of my favorite Trussville eating places last week and first thing I saw was a Christmas tree already decorated and brightly lit. Horrors. I believe I will live to see the day when we break out the Christmas decorations on July 4.
* But I wish radio stations would not abruptly stop playing Christmas music at 11:59 pm on December 25. Please give us one extra day of music to ease out of the holiday.
* Very few eating places still give you a spoon to eat with--just a fork and a knife. How do they possibly think I can eat english peas with a fork. They roll off my fork and onto the floor. Then I have to crawl under the table and retrive them.
