HI folks,   
      
   A friend of mine sent me a synopsis of an article from some   
   agricultural publication's web site.   
      
   It's funny, the folks in the coastal plains etc. are doing   
   quite good for moderate temps and a bit of moisture, but in   
   the midsection we're dry and hot!   
      
   HIs comment was that today's high, instead of being   
   soemwhere like Death Valley, Ca. was somewhere in Kansas.   
      
   And, check out the wild fires this season.   
      
   I think we were hotter today than Sarasota, Fl.  HEre in   
   west Tn. I think we got upper 90's, and Sarasota around 3   
   this afternoon was only 89.   
      
      
      
   Regards,   
              Richard
