On Monday evening, Gov. Pat McCrory finally declared a legitimate state of emergency for central and eastern North Carolina. Hurricane Matthew could be the worst hurricane to hit N.C. in over 30 years. Make sure that your friends and family on the coast are prepared by this weekend. Stay safe and stay inside!
Save a pal
The Orange County Animal Shelter has a BOGO (buy one, get one) deal on cats. No other offer allows you to so quickly become a cat person for a moderate price. If you can’t adopt, consider donating! All cats (and dogs) deserve a home, and the shelter helps make it happen. Not all heroes wear capes. Some have cats.
To catch a cold
It’s that time of year again. Sniffles that loudly disrupt a quiet lecture hall, coughs that punctuate presentations and the general sense of fatigue that blankets the campus all signal the arrival of cold and flu season. Stock up on soup and avoid touching your face, mouth and eyes in the next few weeks.

Man versus man. Bland versus bland. Tim Kaine did his darndest to make Clinton look like a viable candidate. Pence did his darndest to make Trump look remotely appealing. We’d have more to say about the debate, but we changed the channel to watch a rerun of The Office. Because at least those white guys are funny.
