The Civic Holiday weekend is shaping up to be a good one with sun and highs of 30 for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
To cool off on Monday, all municipal pools have free swims from 1:30-4.
For a full pool schedule, go here.
A rare, second new moon of the month is occurring tonight over North America. Astronomers refer to it as a Black Moon.
It’s the first one since 2016. The rest of the world will have to wait until August 30th to see it.
A black moon is basically the second new moon of the month, something that rarely occurs. It works similarly to a Leap Year. The second full moon in a month is called a blue moon, and the second new moon is called a black moon.
What will I see during a black moon? Honestly, probably nothing, it will blend in with the sky. The moon is also going to be a super moon, meaning the moon will appear bigger than usual because it’s closer to the Earth, but because it’s a new moon you still won’t be able to really see it.
Competitive eater Joey Chestnut spent Monday eating 413 chicken wings over the course of 12 hours. He was celebrating National Chicken Wing Day at a Hooters in Georgia.
Hooters gave Joey a t-shirt after he ate his 250th wing.

Holiday Inn has announced that it will stop stocking its bathrooms with those little plastic bottles of shampoo, lotion, and so forth.
They are replacing them with bulk dispensers to help cut down on plastic waste.
Great, now I’m going to actually have to find actual souvenirs for the kids.
