You’re probably going to find this an odd start and perhaps even an odder article. You see, I don’t know if I ever saw Luke Perry on television or in a movie. I might have, but I could have just as easily fallen over him at the supermarket and would never have known who he
Four regional signals alerted the Philippines to the arrival of Typhoon “Ompong” (Mangkhut) as it touched down in Luzon, home to the capital, Manila, in North Philippines at Baggao, Cagayan on Saturday morning.
