Kinda cool when your home area, far from a Portland or Seattle in size, makes the national news. 50 degree average temperature this winter, breaking the record there by 7 degrees, huh?  

I’m reminded of a commercial during the Super Bowl, I think, where the current Heisman Trophy Winner (College Football Player of the Year) is proudly showing off his trophy to Joe Montana, winner of 4 Super Bowls. Joe’s response is, “Impressive!” and then he flashes his hand with 4 Super Bowl rings. Emulating Montana, my response also is “Impressive!” and then I flash the average temperature in Sarasota the last 4 days as around 84 degrees. Everything is relative, you see! J

Imagine my surprise when Yakima was mentioned on the CBS Evening News. It wasn't a surprise to me. :)
