Ah...The life of a producer here at the big 8 ski. Sean Jacks, our assistant producer for the noon news shows up to work wearing flip flops and an aloha shirt. When the weather heats up around here there are some serious advantages to working behind the camera.
Summer Sizzle We've been advertising it for days now. Hot-very hot weather is about to move into the Pacific Northwest. We're not talking about some upper or lower 70s warm up. No I'm talking full fledged get our the flip flops and sun screen hot. I'm talking upper 80s and 90s. Computer models have been jumping around one says it's going to be 96 degrees Friday.

That's overstating it a bit, it's really just a song. But overstating is kind of a theme here, so what the heck. This was sent to me to and written by blogger Ian Doescher.

The first time I met The Boz was after one of my first broadcasts at KATU.
