I wouldn't mind 25 minutes. I find that I need that transition between work and home. That's one of the reasons the pandemic was so tough.

Back in the day, I thought people that worked from home all the time were nuts. I couldn't imagine wanting to basically be in the same location for most of your week with no real interaction with your coworkers. Then I got to do it. :D

That'll do. My weather app has the hourly breakdown out to 8 am on Saturday. 7% chance of rain is the highest percentage for any of the hours between now and then, continuing the nice run we've been on.

In 1793, President George Washington laid the cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol.

In 1850, Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act, which created a force of federal commissioners charged with returning escaped slaves to their owners.

In 1851, the first edition of The New York Times was published.

In 1947, the National Security Act, which created a National Military Establishment and the position of Secretary of Defense, went into effect.

In 1961, United Nations Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold (dahg HAWM’-ahr-shoold) was killed in a plane crash in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia).

In 1970, rock star Jimi Hendrix died in London at age 27.
