Watch out for 'fly-by-night' contractors
SUMMARY: September is National Preparedness Month, reminding consumers to be cautious of “fly-by-night” contractors who often appear after storms, offering quick repairs for cash upfront but delivering poor or no work. These scammers frequently follow storms into new towns, promising great deals and falsely claiming local connections. The Better Business Bureau advises researching reliable contractors before disasters strike, as post-disaster urgency makes it easy to fall victim. Consumers should also review their insurance coverage to ensure proper protection. Resources like BBB and Ready.gov offer guides for preparedness, helping individuals plan ahead to avoid scams and make informed decisions during stressful times.

Adam Wainwright’s odd story around the 9/11 attacks
SUMMARY: Before debuting with the St. Louis Cardinals, Adam Wainwright had a close brush with the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. In early September 2001, Wainwright and his brother Trey planned a trip to New York City, initially to see a Yankees game that was rained out. Instead, they visited the Empire State Building on Sept. 10, capturing a photo with the World Trade Center behind them. They planned to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sept. 11 but left New York early, narrowly avoiding the attacks. Wainwright later reflected on seeing smoke from the tragedy during their drive. He pitched for the Cardinals from 2005-2023, winning 200 games.
