Over the past few days, Colorado Springs, Colorado has been in flames. More than 30, 000 people have been evacuated, and lots of homes have been lost (I don’t know the exact number). The reason for the flames is the temperature and weather: high heat, low humidity, and wild winds.

How The Berry Lost Its Crack
I have been a proud member of TeamBlackberry (used to be known as Crackberry before Twitter became all popular and stuff) for the past five years.
