Good Morning: Are You Ready for the Weekend?

It's going to be cool and dry for our immediate future. On Friday look for a high in the lower 60's and lots o' sunshine. Over the weekend it will be pretty much the same. Perfect rally and Halloween weather. Even Monday will be rain-free.

On this day in 1945 the first ball point pen was sold in the United States. It cost $12.95, which is the equivalent of $154.00 in 2010 dollars. The first ball point pen was rather a flop, though, mostly because it leaked like crazy.
