5 Things: Sunny Weather, Free Audiobooks and Death Stats

Some interesting and useful things to know courtesy of Patch.

1. Weather Report: Today will be mainly sunny. High 81F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph. Tonight should be clear. Low 58F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.

2. In Case You Missed It: Life expectancy is a morbid subject, but one that is important to study. Women are living longer than men, but that gap is changing. See how Hillsborough County stacks up.

3. Got bears? Amherst Patch is updating you on bear sightings in town each week. One was seen lurking around Wilkins Elementary School, and a Patch reader snapped a great photo. Send your bear sightings (including the time/date and address) to Robert.Michaelson@patch.com

4. Patch Fact: Did you know: The human heart creates enough pressure while pumping to squirt blood 30 feet (9 meters).

5. Listen to the Library. The Amherst Town Library wants teens and other readers of Young Adult Literature to know of an opportunity to listen to bestselling titles and required reading classics this summer. Each week from May 30 - August 15, 2013, SYNC will offer two free audiobook downloads. To find out when you can download titles to listen to on the run this summer, visitwww.AudiobookSync.com or text syncya to 25827
