Friday's opening shot

Morning view from Cooper Square.

As for your exclusive July 4orecast (sorry), sunny and pleasant today (lower humidity) with a high of 83. The UV Index is 10, so lather on that tanning butter or cooking oil sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher in the great outdoors.

Saturday's opening shot

A sunrise view from Astor Place looking across Stuyvesant Street, the only street in Manhattan that runs true west to east. 

As for the weather, overcast and muggy, with showers and scattered thunderstorms this morning into the afternoon. 

As for the Belmont Stakes (at Saratoga again this year), the track is expected to be wet, perhaps even sloppy. Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty and Preakness Stakes victor Journalism meet again. Five weeks ago at Churchill Downs, Sovereignty edged out Journalism on a rain-soaked track in the Run for the Roses, as we cut-n-paste from elsewhere.
