...while brown ends and a black middle mean a mild fall and early spring but a harsh midwinter. Each fog forming in August foretells a measurable snowfall. Thick corn shucks also mean a cold winter. The last three days of January portend weather for the next three months, and thunder in February means there will be a frost 90 days later...
There's a scary moment during tonight's WCW Thunder wrestling program: a referee collapses and is rushed to the hospital. He's not part of the show. He's a football ref, and he's in a commercial touting University of North Carolina Health Care. Channel surf in Raleigh-Durham and you can see an artsy black-and-white ad featuring a country singer who doesn't have the usual complaints of "heartbreak"--brought to you by the WakeMed hospital's new Heart Center in Raleigh.

"There...
...thunder out of Asia rolled into Russia last week, shaking the already wobbly economy and its twitchy investors. A spate of panic selling sent the stock market plunging and plunging, and it ended the week worth half as much as it was a year ago. Even before the bubble popped in Thailand, South Korea and Indonesia, Boris Yeltsin's government was living dangerously. It was juggling $150 billion in foreign debt, running huge budget deficits and resorting to a kind of pyramid scheme in which it was selling new treasury bills to pay interest on those it had sold earlier...
