5 Things: Darwin, Cross Country And A Need To Secede?

[Your Song of the Day]

1. Weather report: Today will be sunny with a high of 47 degrees. Tonight should be clear with an overnight low of 28 degrees. Things are looking cloudier on Thursday.

2. Closed. Don't forget that Amherst Town Hall is closed due to structural repairs. Those with questions or are in need of town services can still call them at (603) 673-6041.

3. A less-united states? A group in New Hampshire has joined those unhappy with the election results in threatening to secede from the United States of America. Do they have a shot? Read more on Concord Patch.

4. Patch Fact: Did you know: Did Charles Darwin become a Christian on his deathbed? Despite the popular story told by British evangelist "Lady Hope," Darwin's son refuted her account. It seems the naturalist stuck to his guns and remained agnostic until the bitter end.

5. Congrats! The Souhegan Boys Cross Country Team capped off an excellent season by taking home the 3rd Place Trophy at the New England High School Cross Country Championships in Cumberland Maine on Saturday! After winning the State Division II Title 2 weeks ago, and then winning the NH Meet of Champions last week, the Sabers represented New Hampshire well as their top 5 finished within a 35 second span as they scored 222 points in the field of 30 of New England's best teams.
