GARCINIA CAMBOGIA is the latest craze in diets.

I'm always skeptical when I hear "Loose weight without exercise."
Anti inflammation claims interest me though

Time to wake up the Rain God

Bang Fai

Warm enough for a waterfight

Recent temperatures in the low forties (104+ F) did not seem too extreme to some of us, mainly because there was no humidity.
Most of the weather system passed by well south of us with clouds and a cool day locally. Temperatures remain mostly in the mid thirties , increased humidity will make it feel like mid forties

Scattered thundershowers and cloudy at times is in the forecast.
If you don't experience any showers, expect the humidity to make up for the lack of rain
