Nothing concrete yet. Based on my call number, I've likely got jury duty Thursday or Friday, and the Parrothead 5k Saturday morning. So hopefully golf on Sunday.

Today is Tuesday, July 6, the 187th day of 2021.
There are 178 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:


On July 6, 1854, the first official meeting of the Republican Party took place in Jackson, Michigan.

On this date:

In 1777, during the American Revolution, British forces captured Fort Ticonderoga (ty-kahn-dur-OH’-gah).

In 1885, French scientist Louis Pasteur tested an anti-rabies vaccine on 9-year-old Joseph Meister, who had been bitten by an infected dog; the boy did not develop rabies.

In 1917, during World War I, Arab forces led by T.E. Lawrence and Auda Abu Tayi captured the port of Aqaba (AH’-kah-buh) from the Ottoman Turks.

In 1933, the first All-Star baseball game was played at Chicago’s Comiskey Park; the American League defeated the National League, 4-2.

In 1942, Anne Frank, her parents and sister entered a “secret annex” in an Amsterdam building where they were later joined by four other people; they hid from Nazi occupiers for two years before being discovered and arrested.

In 1944, an estimated 168 people died in a fire that broke out during a performance in the main tent of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in Hartford, Connecticut.

In 1945, President Harry S. Truman signed an executive order establishing the Medal of Freedom.

In 1957, the Harry S. Truman Library, the nation’s first presidential library, was dedicated in Independence, Missouri.

In 1971, jazz trumpeter and singer Louis Armstrong died in New York at age 69.

In 1988, 167 North Sea oil workers were killed when explosions and fires destroyed a drilling platform.

In 2005, New York Times reporter Judith Miller was jailed after refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating the leak of undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity (Miller was jailed for 85 days before agreeing to testify).

In 2015, Pope Francis received a hero’s welcome in Guayaquil, Ecuador’s biggest city, as he celebrated the first public Mass of his South American tour.

Ten years ago: Jury selection began in the perjury trial of former baseball pitcher Roger Clemens, who was accused of lying under oath to Congress when he denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs during his career (the proceedings ended abruptly in a mistrial; Clemens was later acquitted in a retrial).


Five years ago: President Barack Obama scrapped plans to cut American forces in Afghanistan by half before leaving office. Double-amputee Olympian Oscar Pistorius was sentenced to six years in a South African prison for murdering girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. (An appeals court would increase that sentence to 13 years.) Philando Castile, a Black elementary school cafeteria worker, was killed during a traffic stop in the St. Paul suburb of Falcon Heights by Officer Jeronimo Yanez. (Yanez was later acquitted on a charge of second-degree manslaughter.) Former Fox News Channel anchor Gretchen Carlson sued network chief executive Roger Ailes, claiming she was cut loose after she had refused his sexual advances and complained about harassment in the workplace, allegations denied by Ailes. (Carlson later settled her lawsuit for a reported $20 million.) The augmented-reality game Pokemon Go made its debut in the U.S., Australia and New Zealand.


One year ago: The Trump administration formally notified the United Nations of its withdrawal from the World Health Organization; President Donald Trump had criticized the WHO’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. (The pullout was halted by President Joe Biden’s administration.) Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency and authorized the activation of up to 1,000 National Guard troops after a weekend of gun violence in Atlanta left five people dead; the victims included an 8-year-old girl, killed while riding in a car near a Wendy’s that had been burned after a Black man was shot by a white police officer in the restaurant’s parking lot in June. Amy Cooper, the white woman who called police during a videotaped dispute with a Black man in New York’s Central Park, was charged with filing a false report. (The case was dismissed after Cooper completed a counseling program.) Country Music Hall of Famer Charlie Daniels, a singer, guitarist and fiddler who had a hit with “Devil Went Down to Georgia,” died in Tennessee at the age of 83. Agents for Patrick Mahomes said the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback had agreed to a 10-year contract extension worth as much as $503 million, giving the Super Bowl MVP the richest-ever sports contract. Oscar-winning Italian composer Ennio Morricone, who created the theme for “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” died at 91.

#1 son rents a room from us, so he's here.  #2 son is other side of the mountains in Ellensburg. 

On these spring-break weeks when Carol is out of town, #1 son and I traditionally grab at least one upscale dinner out, which is fun.

It's an open secret.  Leftists think that more legislation will make people freer and more equal, that giving the government more money will mean poor people get more, and that the solution to homelessness is more cheap housing.  So they're either hypocrites, lunatics, or morons.  Since they seem fairly sane and many of them are very rich, successful, and creative, but they continue to promote policies that are at odds with evidence and their own experience, it must be hypocrisy.  They don't really want more freedom and more equality, they just want control.

Which you're not supposed to know about doesn't exist.
It's an open secret.  Leftists think that more legislation will make people freer and more equal, that giving the government more money will mean poor people get more, and that the solution to homelessness is more cheap housing.  So they're either hypocrites, lunatics, or morons.  Since they seem fairly sane and many of them are very rich, successful, and creative, but they continue to promote policies that are at odds with evidence and their own experience, it must be hypocrisy.  They don't really want more freedom and more equality, they just want control.
Think that's a given across the political board. You could easily substitute trickle-down economics in that second sentence and be talking about Republicans.

Morning, muchachos.  Late check-in.  Had to take the wife and nephews to the airport this morning to fly to Tucson to visit grandma.
Good morning, BachelorBret.
For the next week, indeed.  Morning, T.
Are the boys living with you?
The nephews?  Yeah, they and their mom are living with us.  All come out of really nasty background so we took them in two years ago and have been providing stability.  Results have been very positive.
You and your wife are fine human beings. At least, in this regard. ;)
Yeah, ain't that somethin'? I'm a Republican, a lifetime member of the NRA, I voted for Trump twice, I have more than one AR-15, I'm an Evangelical, I'm Pro-Life, anti-socialist, AND I have a heart?  Will wonders never cease?

;-)
You also tend to exhibit rational thought process, don't parrot bullshit, so maybe you're just an apparent RINO like me.  (At least according to current definitions)
The accusation has been leveled, and also because I got a COVID vaccine and I demanding that somebody provide some actual evidence of election fraud.  So my side thinks I'm a traitor, and the other side thinks I'm a fascist extremist.  Both sides can kiss my ass.

Sure, except what the left calls trickle-down economics isn't trickle-down economics, and even if it were it would work better than the welfare state.

Actually, trickle-down economics was never policy nor even proposed as a policy.  It was a monumental straw-man argument that somehow took up residence in the American hive mind.

How do they handle ties in playoff hockey? Penalty shots after OT periods, or do they just keep playing until someone scores?

Either way, congrats on the win!

I only saw the first 90 minutes and then the boys had a dive meet. So now when I returned home I watched the end of the game. Spain actually played a better game up to the penalty kicks where they blew it. But like you said, I'll take the win.

Indeed, looked like Spain was gonna pull it out in the second half, but wasn't to be.

Also, looked it up, in playoff hockey, they play OT periods until they get a winner. So I learned something new today.
