Your Morning Wake-Up Call for May 22, 2011

By Chuck Sudo in News on May 22, 2011 1:30PM

Good Morning, everyone. And a special welcome to all of you who weren't Raptured yesterday. (You're not getting your stuff back from us.) Charles Markham, onetime chairman of the Illinois Central Railroad, was born on this day in 1861. The Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, was also born on this day in 1942. As for the weather today, it's more akin to August. It's going to be very humid and warm with a chance of thunderstorms and a high of 85 degrees.
