FYI - I do like the name Monsoon verses other names that have been noted for this season. Here are a few of the comical ones:

The "Fickle Flow" - it really is very hard to know exactly what days you will get hit the hardest (sort of like a codependent relationship - the kind you may see on Dr. Phil or Springer).

"Moist Madness" - going with the sports theme noted one morning by Mike Chamberlin our morning anchor.

Mike gave me the idea of creating a "Mike's Mugginess Index" based on the curliness of his hair.

Thanks for all your calls with an interest in this.

Hope you stay a "dry guy" (that's what we told our 3 year old when he was getting potty trained) during the monsoon.

Ciao,
Stefano

Remember that heat does kill as noted in earlier postings so please take time to cool off and keep from getting ill during this high heat spell.

Sincerely,
Safety Steve
