| Good morning! Sunny and warmer today, with highs in the upper 60s to mid-70s. Let this be a reminder that if you or your kid get an invitation, you should show up for a child's birthday party if you can. Graham Day turned 8 on Sunday and his parents did what parents of 8-year-olds often do when kids turn 8: They planned a party, sent out invitations, and then baked and stocked up on food. Nobody showed up, the Dallas Morning News reports. Nobody. It's not the first time. It happened when he turned 6, too. Thankfully, there's still some good in the world. Day's mother asked local police officers if one would mind stopping by. The entire shift showed up. So did firefighters and a few neighbors. | Forecast | Updraft weather blog |
