HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIN

I woke up in the middle of the night.. craving water and a chocolate chip cookie. So I had to raid my son's drawer for that.. Before trying to cure insomnia with sugar, I checked the temperature gauge: 45 degrees. In August. The dog days that aren't...instead you best get one of those tacky sweater vests for your dog this week..
Now to the news.

Cold now.. but..

Watching the Gulf: A storm system may strike right near New Orleans or directly on it.. how strong will it get before hitting? It's in the western Caribbean now. From there a number of possibilities exist.. Henry Margusity wrote on his Facebook page today, "The danger with the system in the Gulf this weekend will be the sudden intensification within a few hundred miles of the coast."


Accuweather issues winter hints: Autumn 2013 will be a slow transition to cold for the Northeast but quick for the Midwest.. But if you make it through November in the Midwest, Accuweather says it all gets warm from there..


Federal government closes 600 weather stations.. And we still rely on them for accurate forecasts?


Obamascare: Now word comes that 'forced' home inspections may be the near future norm! The actual website from HHS states that "high risk" homes will be targeted for government visits .. For example: Tobacco users, families who had a member FORMERLY in the armed services.. children with disabilities.. And it's ALL NOT GOING TO BE VOLUNTARY

Google has been forced to admit everything that people already know.. You just cannot expect privacy on their email system.. A lawsuit says the company violates the law when it scans users' emails..



Remember that video of the Naples Florida pool UFO? It has been solved by MUFON. And it's not an alien.









ALL THUMBS: Megan Fox recruited by Avon to be the new face of the company. Hopefully there will not be a need for hand modeling..
