How is it in the rest of the state? I'm not complaining mind you I'm just stating a fact. We have broken records for seven straight days now. Best price we've had for fish in almost a decade. Gunna be a nice summer I expect. Hope it is for you guys up north as well. Enjoy and eat lots of ice cream.

1. Just how HOT is it? You didn't say.

It can't be due to global warming!!

4. It has been setting records for a solid week now

Last weekend, the Forest Service recorded a 101-degree reading on one of its remote weather stations, in the woods about 12 miles northwest of Thorne Bay on Prince of Wales Island, near Ketchikan, said Dexter H. Duehn, fire management officer.

Annette Island recorded 93 degrees on Saturday, a record for that community. And Hoonah experienced 89-degree weather that day, also a record, said Chris Maier, a Juneau-based meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

3. Yes, how hot is it??

I'm cruising the inside passage the end of August and looked forward to seeing those amazing glaciers en route. Tell me they'll still be there!

Just kidding. I plan to have a wonderful time on my first trip to Alaska. A long-time dream come true! Stay cool up there!

6. Whoa!

Thanks, Bandit. This is unheard of, I'm guessing, in your neck o' the woods, so to speak. I saw the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" awhile back. Kinda scary stuff. I'd been thinking I should take my winter clothes on the AK cruise in August. Maybe not...but of course a lot could change between now and then. Let's just hope it's not that sudden ice age thing!

Keep cool!
