Today is Sunday, Dec. 29, the 364th day of 2024.
There are two days left in the year.


Today in history:

On Dec. 29, 1890, the Wounded Knee massacre took place in South Dakota as more than 250 Lakota people were killed by U.S. troops sent to disarm them.

Also on this date:

In 1170, Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was slain in Canterbury Cathedral by knights loyal to King Henry II.

In 1940, during World War II, Germany dropped incendiary bombs on London, setting off what came to be known as “The Second Great Fire of London.”

In 1978, during the Gator Bowl, Ohio State football coach Woody Hayes punched Clemson player Charlie Bauman, who had intercepted an Ohio State pass. (Hayes was fired the next day.)

In 1989, dissident and playwright Vaclav Havel (VAHTS’-lahv HAH’-vel) assumed the presidency of Czechoslovakia.

In 2021, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in New York of helping lure teenage girls to be sexually abused by the late Jeffrey Epstein; the verdict capped a monthlong trial featuring accounts of the sexual exploitation of girls as young as 14. (Maxwell would be sentenced to 20 years in prison.)

It's amazing out here today. Almost 60° while taking the pooch out for a walk. I should have grabbed a cigar.

That was us yesterday, it was beautiful out. Even had the doors open for a time. Still warmish at the moment, but it's been raining all day. Below freezing temps coming this week

Shame, but in a way, I'm glad he passed before Drumpf got back into office. He'd probably make him lie in state in a basement or something.

I never bet on Browns games. They're so mind-numbingly inconsistent there's no point. Like the Giants, who expected them to beat the Colts? I'm guessing sports books made a river of wealth on them today.

Love went for like 300 yards against the Vikings in week 4, I figured in the dome, he'd be good for 250. That's why they call it gambling.

Indeed, would've had a decent shot if they could've stopped them and gotten the ball back. Oh well.
