Today's Weather Trivia:
10 April 2004: Summer wear and outdoor activities ruled as coastal British
Columbia basked in record high mid-20s temperatures. Motorcyclists,
bicyclists, and motorists in convertibles cruised the highways and byways of
Vancouver Island, where Port Alberni hit a scorching 26°C. About 50 of BC's
80 weather stations recorded new highs for the day, with Vancouver topping
18.5°C and Abbotsford 25.2°C. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian WeatherTrivia

Alkes, one of the brightest stars of the constellation Crater, the cup,
which is in the southeast at nightfall, is 175 light-years away, so the
light we see from the star tonight actually began its journey toward Earth
175 years ago.
