Then showers with isolated thunderstorms this afternoon.
Highs in the lower 70s.
Southeast winds 10 to 15 mph.
Chance of rain 90 percent.

~ Tonight... Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers
with isolated thunderstorms in the evening...
Then mostly clear after midnight.
Lows in the mid 40s.

A hand full of this...a splash of that...

Houdini was the first man to fly an airplane solo in Australia.

Horn & Hardart opened the first U.S. automat in Philadelphia in 1902.

Boxer George Foreman has named his five sons "George."

If one were to capture and bottle a comet's 10,000-mile vapor trail,
the amount of vapor actually present in the bottle
would take up less than 1 cubic inch of space.

Chang Hsien-chung, a Chinese bandit,
is credited with having killed 40 million people
between 1643 and 1648.
He completely wiped out the population of Szechwan province.

I've got to make my rounds.
But, you stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!

Come in and sit for a while.

There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

PLEASE REMEMBER THEM ....
