The Daily Dose: The Nov. 11 Edition
The Daily Dose is a look at the weather, traffic, what you may have missed and what's coming up on St. Peters Patch.
It's Veterans Day, so find a soldier, Marine, sailor, airman or other armed service member and thank them today.
Today also is a numerological oddity: Nov. 11, 2011, or 11-11-11. Considered a lucky omen, some people get married or even conspire to have their children on this day.
It won't happen again for another 100 years, Nov. 11, 2111--or in a little over a year on Dec. 12, 2012, depending how you look at it.

On this day in 1918, Germany signed an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car in the forest of Compiègne, France, ending World War I.
