         You might find it interesting to note that it was
         only about ten years ago that the NWS decided
         they were measuring Tucson temps too high and
         reset everything. We seem to be 5 or 6 degrees
         cooler here now. Makes a big difference, sometimes
         we need a jacket in July, now.
