a grim forecast
the news & observer, raleigh's newspaper, is dealing with the same financial woes that are plaguing the rest of the industry nationwide. they've had to condense certain sections and get rid of others altogether, and i'm sure every change they make is met with dismay from some faction of their readership. but when they cut down their weather page -- liam's beloved weather page, as my faithful readers know -- the disappointment on his face just killed me.
i fired off my first-ever letter to the editor about this issue. much to my surprise, it was published! now if they'd only take my words to heart and do something about it ... sunnier days would be ahead.

reading your post with husband and he replied that he read the weather page all the time when a kid and New Delhi is always the highest high. does that still hold true in this season of global warming? great letter.
i have to admit that i'm not sure new delhi was included in the list of the world cities. (liam could tell you, but he's asleep at the moment.) as of late, the highest high was always baghdad. which is also, incidentally, a very fun word to say to a 4-year-old.
