My neighbors survived the lightning storm

Maybe a pool is the safest place to be for people.. Eh?

But now that they lived through stormageddon they decided to launch their homemade fireworks at 10pm. Ayden is fast asleep. Maybe soon he’ll be fast awake.

God bless America.

The unpredictable joys of summer

110 degree weather.

Spotty storms.

Your neighbors in their pool during a lightning storm.

Yep.

I'm glad Serena Williams won for two reasons

One: I like Serena Williams

Two: She beat Agnieszka Radwanska. And really, who can spell Agnieszka Radwanska anyway?

The real feel is feeling real

The temperature will soar above 100 today in many cities,. But the real feel temperature will make it feel like it is 115 or more .. It is going to feel absolutely outrageous.

I envy a boy that can spend Fourth of July soaking in a mini pool .. Therefore I envy my own son, Mr. Ayden Morris

He wasn’t born on the Fourth of July but he sure soaked on it.

Natural fireworks scheduled for tonight as long as fireflies show themselves ..and ice cream too.. Happy Fourth everyone.

An ex-FBI agent makes quite the statement in a new book: She says when she responded to Pennsylvania crash site on 9/11, she saw angels

Lilli Leonardi said: “They were dressed as if they were in warrior garb like a Roman centurion, and there were so many of them, you couldn’t see their faces”

The Higgs Boson Particle found.. but that leaves one other mystery unsolved

Now that the elusive Higgs Boson particle has been potentially found, maybe it’s high time for scientists to explain the other mystery of life: Why is it that regardless of human intelligence, we always seem to result in war like police states with dictators, why humans seem to always come up with new ways to torture and terrorize, and why there never seems to be a lack of hate across the planet. Animals may eat their young. But at least that’s quick. Humans devise horrid ways to destroy generations.

THAT'S ONE SMALL PARTICLE FOR MANKIND

A major story developing at the Large Hadron Collider today .. CERN scientists announced that a Higgs-like particle has been finally found after decades of the searching.

"We have reached a milestone in our understanding of nature," scientists said in a statement. 

The scientific and religious worlds will now respond.. People will try to comprehend.. and all the while the little tiny particle will keep giving mass to atoms and making this whole thing called a universe work in some magical and strange way.

Fireworks over the Middle East.. not celebrations of American independence but instead a test of global security: Iran has test fired missiles in a war of nerves..

Tensions have escalated between the West and Iran over recent months. Israel has ratcheted up a war of words with the nation..
