3) Sunshine!

According to the National Weather Service, we can expect sunshine for this fine Monday. Temperatures will likely stay in the mid-70s, making it quite comfy for most people. 

 

4) In case you missed it

As always, we caught up with the week in news on Sunday morning. Find out what stories our readers were most interested in last week and read them for yourself. Our wrap-up is here. 

 

5) The first drunk driving arrest

On this day in 1897, a London cab driver was the first person ever arrested for drunk driving. George Smith, 25, drove his taxi into a building. He plead guilty and was fined 25 shillings. Drunk driving laws would not come to America until 1910, when New York implemented impaired driving laws. As proven by countless Woburn Patch police logs, drunk driving is still an issue today.
