Maybe that positive mindset will help. Mind over matter, and whatnot.

Got up to 52 yesterday, though, it was also super windy. But I didn't have to wear the winter coat to the grocery store, so no complaints here.

Back to AP for the day...
Today is Tuesday, Feb. 25, the 56th day of 2025.
There are 309 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History
On Feb. 25, 1964, Muhammad Ali (then Cassius Clay) became world heavyweight boxing champion for the first time as he defeated Sonny Liston in Miami Beach.
On this date
In 1793, President George Washington held the first Cabinet meeting on record at his Mount Vernon home; attending were Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of War Henry Knox and Attorney General Edmund Randolph.
In 1870, Republican Hiram R. Revels of Mississippi was sworn in as U.S. senator, becoming the first African American member of either house of Congress.
In 1901, United States Steel Corp. was incorporated by J.P. Morgan.
In 1913, the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving Congress the power to levy and collect income taxes, was declared in effect by Secretary of State Philander Chase Knox.
In 1950, "Your Show of Shows," starring Sid Caesar, Imogene Coca, Carl Reiner and Howard Morris, debuted on NBCTV.
In 1954, Gamal Abdel Nasser became Egypt's prime minister after the country's president, Mohammed Naguib, was effectively ousted in a coup.
In 1986, President Ferdinand Marcos fled the Philippines after 20 years of rule in the wake of a tainted election; opposition leader Corazon Aquino -- the first woman to lead the country -- assumed the presidency.
In 1991, during the Persian Gulf War, 28 American soldiers were killed when an Iraqi Scud missile hit a U.S. barracks in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.
In 1994, American-born Jewish settler Baruch Goldstein opened fire with an automatic rifle inside the Tomb of the Patriarchs in the West Bank during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, killing 29 Muslims before he was beaten to death by worshippers.
In 1997, a jury in Media, Pennsylvania, convicted chemical fortune heir John E. du Pont of third-degree murder, deciding he was mentally ill when he shot and killed world-class wrestler David Schultz. (Du Pont died in prison in December 2010 while serving a 13- to 30-year sentence; he was 72.)
In 2020, U.S. health officials warned that the coronavirus was certain to spread more widely in the U.S.; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged Americans to be prepared. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, speaking in India, said the virus was "very well under control" in the United States.

@Tony - Concerning Don McLean - I don't recall expressing any negative thoughts about him. I really don't know anything about his politics. but I don't pick what music I listen to based on politics. I'll criticize political things artists say, but that doesn't stop me from listening to them.
McLean has a reputation for being an asshole, but quite frankly most artists of any sort are assholes. With exceedingly rare exceptions, there's a direct correlation between achieving artistic success and being an asshole, the same way that there is a direct correlation between getting elected and being an asshole. Just the sheer willingness to get onstage with a microphone, as I've done many, many times, requires that one be an asshole to some degree. I'd like to believe I'm an asshole far less than I am a nice guy, and I think most who know me would say I am an asshole far less of the time than I'm a decent person.
But still, normal people just don't pursue the public eye or an audience. They work normal jobs and have normal families, and do normal things.

We used to have plenty of full time assholes around here, but I guess nowadays we'll settle for part time.

Gotta pick up the kids, then we're heading to the mall because the middle kid needs a dress for some party she's going to. It's always something.
Hazzuh!
