TODAY  Version 3.7   06/24/94       Copyright 1986, 1994  By Patrick Kincaid

 Today is Monday  July 3, 2006.
 This is the 184th day of the year, there are 181 days left.

 On this day...
    The "Dog Days" officially begin on this date, ending on
    the eleventh day of August. Superstition has it that dogs
    tend to become mad during this time of the year.
    In 1966 The northeastern U.S. was in the midst of a sweltering
            heat wave.  The temperature at Philadelphia reached
            104 degrees.  Afternoon highs of 102 degrees at Hartford
            CT, 105 degrees at Allentown PA, and 107 degrees at
            LaGuardia Airport in New York City established all-time
            records for those two locations; appropriate start to
            "The Dog Days Of Summer".
    In 1987 Lightning struck and killed three men playing golf on
            a course near Kingsport TN.  The three men had sought
            shelter from the rain under a tall tree on a small hill.
            Showers and thunderstorms produced heavy rain in New
            Jersey, with 5.2 inches reported at Trenton State 
            College.
    In 1988 Thunderstorms around Fort Worth TX produced wind gusts to
            76 mph at Burleson, along with two inches of rain in
            thirty minutes.  The record low of 46 degrees at
            Youngstown OH was their sixth in a row.
    In 1989 Showers and thunderstorms produced locally heavy rain in
            the eastern U.S.  Bowling Green KY was soaked with 4.99
            inches of rain during the morning hours, and up to ten
            inches of rain deluged Oconee County SC.  The temp-
            erature at Alamosa CO soared to a record warm reading of
            91 degrees, following a record low of 35 degrees the
            previous day.
    In 2005 (3rd-4th) Once again, large complexes of thunderstorms
            formed across Kansas and moved south into Oklahoma. Very
            large hail, straight line winds over 80 mph, and flooding
            rains were common over a large area...with quite a bit of
            damage reported.
