It's promising to be another warm day in our neck of the woods, but I doubt we see 106! Sacramento MAY reach 105, but we're usually a little "cooler". (100 yesterday) I thought, since it was slow on the IADECATU site, that I might jump in long enough to dispell a rather fast moving rumor. (It's been rapidly spreading through family.) Some know that my sister, Linda, has enjoyed the "luxury" (term used loosely) of traveling the globe as nanny to a couple of her grand-kids in recent years. MOST recently, (within the last two years), she has been to Fuquet, Thailand, Sharm Le Sheik, Egypt and Decatur County, Iowa. In spite of said rumor and recent devastating news concerning Tsunami's and Terrorist Bombings, Decatur County IS SAFE. We are absolutely assured of our hometown safety, primarily BECAUSE her grand-kids DID NOT visit Iowa!! We intend to continue monitoring Linda's activities and will discourage ANY attempted bookings of dives, either fresh or saltwater, in the Van Wert area. While I feel quite confident making this statement, SHOULD any residents of the area witness a, would be, alien invasion, (a couple of 2' high apparitions in dive masks, goggles and swim fins), contact me immediately. With National Guard help, I believe they're controlable. Sherry (tongue planted firmly in cheek) Balow

Sherry, I enjoyed your comments re: your sister's grandchildren! Wow! Your heat is as high as ours in northwest KS. Our heat index is 98 and the temp at 11:00 AM was 97. We're looking forward to cooler (tongue in cheek) temps next week 90; 89; 92; 100; etc. Think you get the gist.....Jackie in KS ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sherry Balow" <balowmsg@earthlink.net> To: <IADECATU-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, July 24, 2005 11:19 AM Subject: [IADECATU] In The News---some of it > It's promising to be another warm day in our neck of the woods, but I doubt > we see 106!
