Rough Seas Ahead: Dexter Spins North, Tropics Heat Up Elsewhere An ocean-borne storm you may never glimpse could still wreck beach plans from the Outer Banks to Cape Cod, and it marks only the first act in what forecasters say will be a lively week in the tropics.

Can Dogs Understand Human Thoughts? The Answer May Come As A Surprise Can Dogs Understand Human Thoughts? The Answer May Come As A Surprise
