Finally Friday Five: See 'The Game Plan or Macbeth tonight, Riverfest Saturday

Heat Wave - "It ain't the heat; it's the humility.” - Yogi Berra. The state-wide heat wave continues today, with an estimated heat index around 102 degrees - that's what it feels like with humidity factored in. Add another 15 degrees if you're directly in the sun. Not to worry - the city has the senior center and the library set up as cooling centers. Check on your neighbors regularly, though, just in case.
