The National Weather Service is predicting today's high temperature is going to hit 88 degrees with winds running 23 mph.

Can we take a moment here? We've dutifully reported the predicted high temperatures from the Weather Service Web site for the past two months. When it's been hot, they've been dead on, but lately, they've been running about two or three degrees cooler than reality. So don't be surprised if the mercury hits 91 today for real.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program.

If you find it difficult to get a hold of someone today, it's because they're all in meetings.

To top it all off, the Douglas County School Board meets at 3:30 p.m. at Douglas High School.
