Hey, Phillies fans take heart. We could all be Brazil soccer fans this morning.
I Don’t Get It: Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t recall this much weird weather in a period of months. Seems like something odd is going on. Maybe it’s global warming. Since when did we start having hurricanes on the 4th of July?
