5 mile run on tap tonight in Media. It’s one of the highlights of the summer in the county seat.
11 straight days of rain. The record is 12. Looks like the sun if finally returning this morning. Don’t put those umbrellas away. Showers are in the forecast for the weekend.
41-35 lead for Joe Sestak in a Senate matchup with Republican Pat Toomey, according to a new Rasmussen poll. Of course Sestak has to win the nomination first.
50-39 lead for Arlen Specter over Toomey in the same race.

5 businesses in West Philly that have been targeted by an armed robber who is toting an Uzi.

3 swine flu deaths in New Jersey after a 10-year-old boy became the latest victim to succumb.
500 jobs being axed by Exelon, the parent company of Peco Energy Co. Most of the jobs are in Illinois.
7 runs scored by the Phils yesterday. Not enough. They fell to the Blue Jays, 8-7.

I Don’t Get It: Can someone please tell Jon & Kate their 15 minutes are up. The reality stars of something called “Jon & Kate Plus 8” are supposed to be making a “major announcement” on the show on Monday. I don’t get it. Nor do I care.

Today’s Upper: Some serious kudos to the DeCaros, Bill and Marie, of Springfield. They are celebrating a milestone today, 80 years of wedded bliss. Both also turned 100 this year. Our hat’s off to them.
