The National Weather Service has issued a freeze watch for many parts of New York from Sunday through Monday morning, including Oneida County.  Widespread frost and freeze conditions are possible tonight and into early Monday morning.

This global warming must stop.

PORT HURON, Mich., May 30 (UPI) -- The superintendent of a cemetery in Port Huron, Mich., says a squirrel is responsible for the theft of nearly a dozen small U.S. flags.
Mount Hope Cemetery superintendent Ron Ceglarek said he witnessed the squirrel take one of the small flags from a grave site and transport it up a nearby tree to help build a nest with its mate, the Port Huron (Mich.) Times Herald reported Saturday.

The ACLU will be in court tomorrow defending the squirrels' right to do with the flags what they wish.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Russian navy said on Friday that one of its anti-submarine ships had fired artillery at a village by mistake, state RIA news agency reported.  The navy said no-one had been injured when a small anti-submarine ship on Thursday opened fire on a village in the Vyborg region of St Petersburg.

If this happened in America, John Edwards would already be suing.

JOLIET, Ill., May 29 (UPI) -- Authorities in Will County, Ill., passed a zoning ordinance limiting fortune telling businesses to commercial districts.  The Will County Board approved the ordinance, which covers businesses previously omitted from zoning laws, including "astrology, augury, card or tea reading, cartomancy, clairvoyance, clairaudience, crystal gazing, divination, magic mediumship, necromancy, palmistry, psychometry, phrenology, prophecy, spiritual reading, chakra reading, or any similar means," the Chicago Tribune reported Friday.

I hope this clarifies things for those of you who plan to vacation in Joliet.
