HST, EUVE, and Ca II spectra are providing critical velocity and column density data needed to identify individual stuctures (clouds) of warm gas in the local ISM. The Sun is located very close to the edge of and will soon leave the Local Interstellar Cloud (LIC). We will summarize the properties of the LIC and other nearby warm clouds.
