I need to play my games earlier in the day. The last few days I've been falling asleep without ever attempting Connections or Strands. The Wordle streak is my only priority.

I usually have a chance to get them started while my laptop boots up. Sometimes they're easy and I can knock them out before I start with any actual work. Sometimes it takes me throughout the day. But the Wordle is always first, to make sure I don't accidentally forget about it.

Door #1 sheesh.
But $2.50 cheaper!

Today is Friday, March 14, the 73rd day of 2025
with 292 to follow.
The moon is full. Morning stars are Jupiter and Mars. Evening stars are Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Uranus and Venus.
On this date in history:
In 1794, Eli Whitney was granted a patent for the cotton gin.
In 1812, the U.S. government authorized the issue of America's first war bonds -- to pay for military equipment for use against the British.
In 1950, the FBI's "10 Most Wanted Fugitives" list appeared for the first time.
In 1951, Seoul was recaptured by U.N. troops during the Korean War as part of Operation Ripper, also known as the Fourth Battle of Seoul.
In 1964, Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby was convicted of killing Lee Harvey Oswald, the assumed assassin of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Ruby was sentenced to death but the conviction was overturned and he died of cancer while awaiting a new trial.
In 1973, Navy pilot John McCain -- the future U.S. senator from Arizona -- and 107 other American prisoners of war were released by North Vietnam. He spent more than five years in a prison camp after his plane was shot down.
In 1991, scientists reported the discovery of the gene that triggers colon cancer.
In 1991, citing fresh evidence, a British appeals court overturned the convictions of the so-called Birmingham Six, who were sentenced to life in prison for the bombings of two pubs in 1974, the bloodiest assault by the Irish Republican Army on the British mainland. The false conviction of the six men, who were released, is seen one of the worst miscarriages of justice in modern British history.
In 2004, Vladimir Putin easily won re-election as president of Russia. He won a third term in 2012.
In 2009, Australian authorities said a 230-ton oil spill from a Hong Kong-registered freighter caused an environmental disaster along nearly 40 miles of beach off the Queensland coast.
In 2012, the International Criminal Court at The Hague, Netherlands, in its first verdict as a permanent war crimes tribunal, found Congolese warlord Thomas Lubanga guilty of using children in war.
In 2013, Xi Jinping began his 10-year term as president of China.
In 2023, a Russia fighter jet collided with an unmanned MQ-9 Reaper drone, causing the unmanned military craft to crash into the Black Sea.

Turning into quite a nice day out there. 57 right now, forecast shows it going up to 77. Whatever issue the site had with Wednesday's high temp seems to have carried over to yesterday, since it shows we only got up to 38 yesterday, which is way off.

The Page has a couple of mystery samplers up today and it always makes me wonder, do they actually sell a lot of these? How many people could possibly want to spend money on cigars without actually knowing what they're getting? The fact that they keep listing them makes me think they must sell pretty well, which just boggles the mind.

I wonder the same about the bulk/seconds/whatevers that CI sells....same thing. Life is too short to waste on a blah cigar. If you settle for that you're best off not wasting the money and not smoking...

At least with those, you know what you're getting. A mystery sampler, they could send me a Pirate's Gold, 6 Gurkhas and 3 ACIDs.
