Here we are again….FRIDAY! First FULL weekend of fall, the Wagonmasters Chili Cookoff on Saturday, plenty of sports to go around, workin’ on some fall projects and decorating around the house – whatever you’re doing, I hope you have a great weekend. Here are 5 things you need to know to get you through today
1. It’s the weekend so let’s start with the things to do that are trending – Season 21 winners of the Voice “A Girl Named Tom” are at The Orpheum tonight. Also tonight, the 2nd to last Final Friday at The Wichita Boathouse and tomorrow it’s the annual Wichita Wagonmasters Chili Cookoff.
2. House Leader Kevin McCarthy says he wakes up positive everyday that a deal will be reached to avoid a government shutdown, but he is said to be scrambling. A deadline needs to be reached by Saturday night at midnight.
3. It’s the end of an Era for Netflix today as the last DVD’s will ship as part of their red envelope, dvd by mail service. I can’t remember the last time I played something on DVD.
4. All the flags at Hogwarts are at half-staff today after news came last yesterday that award winning actor Sir Michael Gambon, the man who brought Professor Dumbledore to life, has died at the age of 82
5. and in a move that seems to represent the saying, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” – The two start up spring football leagues the XFL and USFL announced they will merge and play as one league starting in the spring. The NFL simply responded “who”?
And that’s trending
