97 degrees on this day in 2011 and 36 degrees on this day in 1897.

And I have a note from Barry Schackel who writes, my buddy John and I did our near memorial day fishing on Lake Minnetonka last week.

We could easily tell the beach fronts and dock areas that he was aquaside and those that don't. The difference is night and day weeds versus no weeds and clear water.

Now some of these large homes are the very homeowners that spend a lot of money to feed and fertilize their lawn to be lush and green.

Only to have the fertilizer then go into the lake to feed the weeds. These homeowners should call aquaside and spend a few bucks to stop the weeds from growing in the lake and enhance the beach and dock enjoyment.

God I love when e-mailers do my ads for me. I was talking about aquaside the white bear lake company that's been keeping lakefront swimming areas free of weeds and algae for more than 60 years with products, a manufacturer right there in white bear lake.

Aquaside is registered with both the EPA and DNR and the products are completely safe. There's no need to let weeds overtake your lake or pond this summer.

Call aquaside today. They'll help you identify your weed problem and make sure your place looks great all summer long. Call aquaside at 1-800-328-9350 or go to aquaside.com.

Irwin Rommel went home to Germany to give his wife a pair of shoes for her birthday. That meant Rommel was in Germany when the allies invaded the coast of France on D-Day.

Sometimes the simplest things can affect the course of history. Here are six other little known facts about D-Day from the BBC.

Let's go. The German Air Force, the Luftwaffe, was outnumbered 31 on D-Day and did not shoot down a single allied plane in air to air combat.

D-Day was the largest seaborne invasion in human history. Over 7,000 ships swarmed the coast of France.

To plan for the operation, the BBC ran a competition asking listeners to send their French beach holiday photographs.

This was actually a secretive way of gathering intelligence on suitable beaches for the landing. In the internet age, we would have called this crowdsourced intelligence.

The British Special Air Service masterminded fake parachute drops where hundreds of dummies were thrown out of aircraft to confuse the Germans as to where the landings were going to be.

They were loaded with firecrackers, so when they hit the ground, they started exploding.

The Allies put a huge effort into convincing the Germans that the invasion was going to be around Kalei, not Normandy.

They created a whole group of fake armies in Kent, building a dummy equipment in placing General George Patton, who the Germans considered the best Allied general in Southeast England.
