As we approach the height of hurricane season – yikes! – you hear a lot about Saharan Dust. Saharan Dust is a good thing, as it is a dry air mass that will often deter hurricanes heading our way. To learn a little more about it, please see my article – and photos of beautiful Saharan Dust sunsets – on page 30. Speaking of hurricanes, please review the Safety Committee reminders regarding Hurricane Preparedness on page 14.

Interest in baseball has, once again, captured one of our BTP readers! HP resident Terry Pigeon has written an interesting article about the history of baseball titled The Evolution of Baseball. Check it out on page 24.

Do terms like “Statement of Financial Position” or “Balance Sheet” make your eyes glaze over? If so, please take a gander at Mark Carter’s article Between the Numbers on page 10. His column is written to help keep you better informed about HP’s finances.

It bears repeating: please know there’s an option for you to download this issue (or any prior issue) of BTP as a PDF (Adobe) for viewing, rather than using a web browser. When BTP is first opened, scroll down to the bottom of page 1. When there, simply click the downward arrow icon (see sample #3 below) to download the magazine as a PDF on your laptop, iPad, or cell phone. The PDF version shows one page at a time (vs. the two pages you see side by side “on line”). Plus, if you download the issue, you can print any page you like, and also store any current or prior issue on your laptop. It’s easy-peasy!
