thermometers. To make Il worse there was a
isnd breeze and one almost melted along the
ocean. And Il has STAYED hot ever since. Il seems

where everything IS open seven days in the week
and never can be. but il Is csmpmeettag
ground. where smoking card playing, dancing and
drinking are forbidden.
An immense waterspout was seen by many Of the
people who chanced 10 be the lower end Of
