We have it signed here but his book is the luckiest n, light with john mccain and jim and i have been fascinated with it. I didnt expect to read every word as my reading list is so vast and once i started i couldnt put it down. Its kind of you tosay, thank you. You worked with senator mccain in 2005 and i am blanketing, i know you did seven books, do you remember which was the 2005 one . It could have been a book on character assassination. We sold thousands of copies and one to the senator and i believe we ran low on signed copies. I find this a little strange to be talking about him without him after spending time with him. The other thing id like to say before i turn this over to jim was that i was really surprised that the mccain family listened to deep roots. I just assumed he had western roots. Im a carpetbagger in arizona. But i didnt recognize that john mccain was perceived as something of a carpetbagger when he ran for office but i asked johngrisham when we did an event , of c

With in addition to the pandemic so yeah get right to it john trouble in the Weather Center will start their jobs. Yeah guys definitely was not a fun night for those of us that did lose power, especially for those of you that were trying to cool off a little bit. Temperatures today will likely again be shattering records areas like San Francisco full 10 degrees above the former record reaching into the 90s for a few spots in the city says you look at the Golden Gate Bridge right here Crystal Clear skies we are off to a warm start already with 60s 70s for most of our current temperatures did cool off enough last night to let it cool breeze into your house, but as we make our way through the day today we are going to be seeing temperatures just as hot as yesterday in some areas despite a one to 2 degree cool down and others think areas on the map still under that excessive heat warning and thats all the way through wednesday.
