News: (undisclosed location) To welcome the new family, a neighbor made chocolate chip cookies using real butter. They did lick the spoon, consuming a small bit of raw dough, but because the eggs they had used did not contain salmonella, they did not die. This time. However, the spoon was reintroduced into the batter to produce one last sheet of cookies. Although tradition holds that the baking temperature might have been high enough to kill some of that bacteria, there is a chance the new neighbors will get a stomach ache. More on this story at 10.

Weather: some wind was out of control for a while, but now it's not, and there could be rain at some point. Residents are advised to take shelter.
