Just 41 days left! Welcome!
With just 41 days remaining before the Olympics begin, I’m very excited to welcome you to our Olympics blog. For starters, I’m David Klatt, your soon-to-be eyes and ears (and from what I hear, lungs) on the ground in Beijing. I land in China on July 8th
I hope you’ll be dropping in on a regular [...]
Mike LaPoint: Summer is here!
I think it’s safe to say that your fan or air conditioner unit has been running non-stop for the last few days due to the muggy and warm conditions. I know high temperatures for the last several days have been short of our averages, but they’ve been close enough to make it feel like summer. [...]

I can vividly remember standing in the kitchen with my mother one morning when I was about six. I was upset it was raining, but she told me it would be done soon. “Rain before seven, end by eleven” she said. I was six. Who was I to argue to her?

We are looking forward to 8-8-08 to watch all the drama unfold. My oldest daughter and I like to watch the opening ceremonies. It is [...]
Scott Harbaugh: June Heat Wave
By most definitions, a heat wave this time of the year is three or more consecutive days of 90 degrees or warmer (this time of year).

Tornadoes don’t hit big cities. WRONG! We’re protected in Pittsburgh because of the rivers. WRONG! Tornadoes don’t hit our area because of the hills and mountains. WRONG! These are all wonderful myths most of our parents taught us (along with the rubber tires on a car protecting you from lightning, but I’ll get into that [...]
