Might be a hot one today. Mike's top five ways to prepare for a hot day.
#5. Put on extra ice cubes before you leave for work and consider putting a couple of ice packs in your pockets on the way out the door too.
#4. If you find yourself at the LC, pay the extra buck for the stuff from the cooler.
#3. See if the garden hose will reach the bedroom (for an improvised water bed in needed).
#2. Lock down the oven. Nobody cooks anything indoors! Coffee and toast cooked on the BBQ!
#1. Consider “just sandals” today, instead of your usual “socks and sandals”!

Dear Mike & Lisa,
Just to let you know that the top 5 thing seriously doesn't work. It is the reason all my colleagues and myself cannot listen to the river in the morning. Just some constructive criticism do what you may with it. Get rid of it if you are after listeners.
Thank you, Jason


Mike's top five reasons for not getting rid of Mike's top five.
#5. It would create an opportunity for an even more “tough to listen to” top 6 or top 7 list or God forbid a top 10 list.
#4. The void created between 7:10 and 7:12 every morning might cause people to nod off and go back to sleep making them late for work.
#3. What? And admit we were wrong about the whole “Mike's top five will make us number one”, that we told Jim Pattison back in the 90's.
#2. It's hard to appreciate really good humor, unless you have something to compare it to.
#1. Without a daily counting backwards exercise DJ's lose their counting backwards abilities. That's what happened to Casey Kasem.

I went to the Jordan World Circus on Saturday and it was awesome! I loved it. From what I'm hearing this morning, I guess some people went to the wrong circus on the weekend though. Mike's top five signs you went to the wrong circus.
#5. Despite the city's exotic animal ban, the kids did get to pet a house cat and they did get to wrestle with JoJo the naughty shitzu.
#4. The only clowns around were eleven councilors and the mayor.
#3. Popcorn wasn't $17!
#2. You found yourself stuck on the banks of the Nechako River and you couldn't remember where you left your car.
#1. A guy named Mike was sitting in one chair and a girl named Lisa was in the other chair.

The HUGE river float is on for tomorrow down the Nechako. Mike's top five tips if you're taking part in the float (Top 5 tips for floaters).
#5. Though not necessary, it's nice to have your Pleasure Craft Operator card mounted somewhere in the wheel house.
#4. Be sure to get off BEFORE Quesnel.
#3. If you encounter a 19 foot sturgeon, look over at the others and say “we're gonna need a bigger boat” (ala Jaws).
#2. Keep in mind, if you hit an iceberg and find yourself looking into the eyes of Kate Winslet. She will let go (I saw the movie).
#1. Remember when buying a floatation device you should be looking for something that is more water PROOF than water resistant.
#1a. Remember to bring a stash of O'Henry bars with you. Nothing says floater like an unwrapped O'Henry!
