There's an expanded community calendar at MikeMoor.media. Now today's Consumer Report. At least one person has died and many communities are shutting down outdoor activities as an outbreak of Eastern equine encephalitis or EEE circulates in the northeastern United States. The mosquito-borne disease is rare but serious with a high death rate. The pending home sales index plunged 5.5% in July and that may turn out to be good news for home buyers. Since the real estate market is all about supply and demand, the rising supply of homes may force sellers to be less aggressive on their list prices and more willing to negotiate. Federal inspection records show the plant where tainted bores head deli meat was processed was cited for multiple health violations. Inspectors reports told of finding blood and bugs in the rooms where the meat was processed. At least nine people have died of a listeria linked to the deli meat.

Welcome to September 3rd on the National Day calendar. Today, we're knocking down pins and enjoying a classic cheesy delight. Imagine a room filled with the sound of pins crashing and the sight of friends high-fiving after a strike. Bowling Lees have brought people together for decades, fostering camaraderie, competition and countless memorable moments, whether you're a seasoned pro or just enjoy the occasional game. Being part of a bowling league is about more than just a score. It's about community and fun. So grab your bowling ball and your bowling shoes because today is U.S. Bowling League Day. You know, I used to bowl a lot, and then I think a year or two ago, I hadn't boiled for a while, and I go in bowl and, you know, for somebody who used to bowl close to 200 all the time, I couldn't even crack a hundred. I'm like, "Wow, this is not this difficult, really?" So it's not like riding a bike, like once you know, you know. I am saying that's correct. Yeah. It was one of the most difficult things I had was trying to figure out how to bowl again. Now let's travel across the Atlantic to savor it dish with a rich history, Welsh rarebit. A savory sauce made from melted cheese and various seasonings is traditionally served over toasted bread. Originated in whales, this dish was humorously referred to as "rarebit" instead of "rabbit," hinting at the notion that it was a luxurious alternative to meat. Perfect as a hearty snack or a comforting meal, this cheesy dish has stood the test of time. So get ready to indulge because today is National Welsh Rarebit Day. I'm proud to announce Rexham AFC's official cookbook, "20 Ways to Make Rarebit." It's everything you ever wanted to know about rarebit. Like, what is rarebit? Do you eat rarebit? Well, it's a cheese sauce made with cheddar cheese and milk and various seasonings poured over toasted bread. So yeah, I would eat, happily eat this. This is kind of like a luxurious grilled cheese sandwich. That's exactly what it is. It's a fancy cheese toast. Ooh, I think you should try making that today. I think I should as well. Alright, let's go. I'm Latoya Johnson. I'm Marla Anderson. Thank you for joining us on our journey to celebrate every day.
