3. Thanks. Is it raining? I'm donating blood today.

It's breezy but dry in Ashland, Virginia. I've been watching trains there on YouTube.

Do we get the employment report a week from today?

Good morning to you.

11. It's damp out there now, so that's a prelude for the rest of the day.

80s yesterday; 40s today.

Cold front moving through this morning with showers and dropping temperatures today. After 80 yesterday, into the 40s this afternoon.

Much of the area sees a freeze tonight and a chilly start to weekend.

Warming up again thereafter.

7. Not only that,

we are using $100,000 Hellfire missiles to shoot down $7,000 Iranian Shahad drones. Iran reportedly has 80,000 drones.

I read where we have fired 5 years worth of Tomahawk Cruise missiles. It takes time to build a Cruise missile and China controls a lot of the rare earth minerals needed in its construction.
