Temperature spikes in South County
Wow, it sure has been hot out here the past few days. We have
reached more than 100 degree temperatures for two days in a row.
Mother Nature sure has been moody; we went from frosty mornings to
extremely windy afternoons last week to blistering hot weather this
week. At least there is a slight chance we might get a few April
showers over the weekend. In the meantime, try to stay cool and
keep an eye out for those rattlesnakes that will be out now for
sure.

Billy and Karen Whitney spent the weekend in San Luis Obispo for the Poly Royal College Rodeo. Karen said they froze on Friday night and about died from the heat on Sunday. Congratulations to Blaire Bidwell, girlfriend of Nick Taliaferro, for winning the Poly Royal Queen contest last Friday. Not only does she get to represent Cal Poly for the next year, but she gets her tuition paid for a full year as well. That is something to think about if you have a daughter interested in attending Cal Poly some day!
