Almost since day one of his second term, the President has been hitting in third and as time goes by, it seems to be more than just to tease. The President says there are ways to get around constitutional term limits, but also says it's way too early to start thinking or
talking about that. Wanted artists, The Trump administration is calling on sculptors to come up with ideas for the Garden of American Heroes that a honor America's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary celebration. Winning bids come with a two hundred thousand dollars federal grant with money from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The White House is interested in sculptures of traditional and non traditional heroes, and is not interested
in abstract or modernist designs. Younger Americans' money dances like sugar plums in their heads. Wbz's Drew mo'holland is here to explain this one. What's going on, Good Morning, Jeffrey.
Some of America's younger generations say they are in a good place financially when compared to their parents and older generations. Recent pull from NBC News finds more than a quarter of the eighteen to twenty nine year old crowd those are the kids, apparently, that's what we're saying. Eighteen to twenty nine say their money is on more solid ground
this year compared to one year ago. But the older you get, the less confident Americans feel about their balance sheets over all, though a majority in all age groups say their personal financial situation is worse today than this time last year.
So what you're telling me is their confidence. But then again, maybe not all that confidence. Yes, I guess that's good to know. Back to you, it looks like another relatively nice day and greater Boston today. We are starting under cloudy skies, though in fifty six degrees. We will see some sunshine along the way today. Temperatures are going to be a little bit warmer in inland locations because we
do have a sea breeze coming at us. Along the shoreline and especially the north shore, will struggle to stay warm a little bit later today, as temperatures will stall out in the sixties there, but will be around seventy of the rest of the shore and into the mid seventies in inland location. Some areas might get as warm as eighty degrees this afternoon. This weekend not so fortunate. The timing is simply terrible, and even with expecting rain tomorrow, it looks like the timing has been moved up a
little bit. The rain will arrive, it looks like sometime tomorrow morning and continue throughout much of the day, although later in the day it might tape her off. And then on Sunday, it looks like we're going to start to see some sunshine back in the picture, but cooler temperatures eyes only in the upper fifties to low sixties. Big warm up in the cards for next week. We're talking temperatures in the eighty degree range. Right now, it's cloudy skies in fifty six here in Boston on this
Friday morning, it is six oh six. If a tree falls in the forest today, many people will hear it. What better way to celebrate Arbor Day than to be among the trees and nature. That's what Deanna and her friends are doing.

I'll ever hear this in the middle of the night often sends chills up a spine. Many people say it sounds like a screaming child, but it's a fisher cat and they're being saved. On the South Shore this week.
In Cohacid, construction crews found baby fishers inside of a tree I was about to be processed by a machine to come down. Cohasset Natural Resource officers were called in to help, and they did. They arrived and brought the fisher babies deep into the woods so they could hopefully make their way back to their mother. For years, there weren't many sightings of fishers south of Boston, but they've
been spotted on trail cams in recent years. While commonly referred to as fisher cats, their DNA what's them in the same family as weasels? They are nocturnal, sometimes spotted during the day in the spring as it's their breeding season. Jim MCKAWBZ Boston's News Radio.
