Good morning, Wheaton. Here's the news to start your day.
1. The weather continues its streak of will-it-thunderstorm-or-won't-it for the rest of the week, but apparently Wednesday is forecast for all sun with highs in the mid-80s. But the humidity's still high so be careful.
2. Did you know May is "Older Americans Month"? While I imagine some of those included in the definition would take umbrage with the term "senior citizen", the change in the county's demographics have shown an increasing number of that age group, as many lifelong residents are staying put in retirement. Patrick Lacefield will present at Wheaton/Kensington Chamber of Commerce Breakfast Mixer this morning at 7:30 a.m. through 9 a.m at the Wheaton Public Library.
