Gone fishin'

fishin I know. It's really hot out. There are storms brewing somewhere in the Atlantic and the Gulf. And now the weather blogger is taking a powder. Bad timing.

But this last break of the season was planned long ago, and my favorite teacher would come after me with a ruler if I didn't take the time.

So I'll be off the WeatherDeck for a few days, trying to keep cool. I've left a few items for the weekend papers.

For the Baltimore forecast from the National Weather Service in Sterling, click here. And, for the latest data from The Sun's weather station, at Calvert and Centre streets, click here.

Now, you may talk amongst yourselves. Someone will be checking for comments and posting them. I'm outa here.

Have fun, enjoy the travel and weather. Where are all the nasty hurricanes we're supposed to get this season?
