Happy 4th of July weekend! Hope you survive with all your fingers intact! While you are “ooohhhing and aaahhhing” over your hometown fireworks display tonight, we are locked in a dark room lit only by the glow of computer monitors and a red white and blue lava lamp obsessing over every frame of video in this weekend’s edition of “News To Me.” Well… one of us is anyway. Thanks Teague! We’ll save you a sparkler and a beer! Unless Charles drinks that one too. OK… keeping this one kind of short… we know you have a lot of “long weekending” to do and I’m certain reading this blog isn’t anywhere near as high on your list as doin’ up some steaks and veggies on the grill by the pool. In fact, it’s probably not even as high on your list as CLEANING the grill OR the pool… The links for MORE of what you’ll see on this weekend’s show : Storm hits Huntsville, AL airshow: Naked dude arrested after high speed persuit: China quake The Big River Show: Keep in mind that while Bill and Max are having a relatively light hearted time on the Ol’ Miss, lots of people along the river are being affected by some of the worst flooding in years. Find out how you can help those being impacted by the rising water at CNN’s Impact Your World site. Italy’s garbage problem goes on: For more on Italy’s growing garbage problem check out this iReport sent in by another American living in Italy. It’s pretty amazing what has to do just to take out the trash. Most Popular on CNN.com: BIG WAVE specialist Garrett Mcnamara Purple 53 Webhits
