Since I know half of us get our news from CP, thought I'd point out a "current event" that's above and beyond politics, oil, sports, etc...
Dragon eats moon
The eclipse begins at shortly after 8 p.m. ET (5 PT), but the first hour or so won't be noticeable as the Moon becomes lightly shaded by Earth's outer shadow, called the penumbra. Things get real interesting at 9:14 p.m. ET (6:14 PT, when the Moon begins sliding into Earth's full shadow, or umbra.
If you can peel your eyes away from the world series, step outside and have a look to the East between 7:00 and 10:30 tonight. Doesn't matter how many of these I see, they're always different.
