OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC
Beware of comscateous air humid, warm, and damp and suitable for growing
com or catching pneumonia July 24,1679, New Hampshire became a royal colony
of the Bntish crown Average length of days for the week 14 hours 38 minutes
Shortly before midnight on July 25,1956, the Andrea Dorea and the Stockholm collided
off Nantucket July 30,1818 marks the birthday of Emily Bronte', English novelist
Knowledge without sense is twofold folly
A rope wrench was used to make taut the ropes in a rope
bed It consisted of a slotted wooden device with a dowel for
winding the slack in the rope.
Home Hints; Mice dislike the smell of fresh peppermint
OLD FARMER'S WEATHER FORECAST
New England: Clearing and hot, better than not Thundershowers and cooling, that's
no fooling Then sunny at least for the end of the week
Greater New York-New Jersey: Clear and hot here, too, followed by heavy thunder
storms; then milder Partly cloudy to finish the week under heavy slues
Middle Atlantic Coastal: Clear and hot before heavy thundershowers crash through
The week ends with more showers, then cleanng weather above.
Piedmont & Southeast Coastal; Clear and hot, this is getting repetitious Ram is
especially heavy in the east, then sunny and finally more showers
