Morning, humps.
Good morning, HumpingDave.

No commute for me today, I think I've had enough for this week.

I was just talking about the stick behind Joe's first door yesterday with my coworker. He was at a charity golf outing in the driving rain on Monday and forgot to bring his cigars. One of his buddies only had a couple of Deadwoods to offer so he smoked it. He wasn't too upset when it got waterlogged.

That's surprising, I'd have expected more from a DE stick.

Oldest's last day of classes is today, wrapping up her first year. Couple of weeks until her summer semester starts. :D

Bought a Mother's Day present for the wife from Etsy. The person was listed as being in NYC, so I figured there was plenty of time to get it sent here (bought it last week). It actually shipped from Chicago, so I figured still good, even a little closer than NYC. Well, yesterday it checked into the Dallas sorting center. So now I'm slightly less confident about it arriving on time. We shall see.

That happened in a hurry. My #1 graduates from college next Sunday, and #2' s last final of freshman year is this Friday.

We obviously can't figure out the shipping game. We order and pray.

Yikes. The other 2 have around 2 more weeks. Not sure if they end on a Thursday or Friday, but they're done by Memorial Day weekend.

Down to my last guess for the Wordle and I can't think of what this word could be. 3 greens in place and not many letters left on the board.

Finally cracked it. In retrospect, it shouldn't have been as difficult as it was.

Today is Wednesday, May 7, the 127th day of 2025
with 238 to follow.
The moon is new. Morning stars are Mars, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn and Venus. Evening star is Jupiter.
On this date in history:
In 1718, the French established the city of New Orleans on land inhabited by the Chitimacha tribe. The actual date of the city's founding is unknown, but the anniversary is traditionally observed May 7.
In 1789, the first U.S. presidential inaugural ball, celebrating the inauguration of George Washington, was conducted in New York City.
In 1824, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was performed for the first time.
In 1913, homemade bombs found under the bishop's throne in St. Paul's Cathedral and opposite the offices of Evening Star in Bouverie Street, were deemed by police to have been the work of suffragettes.
In 1915, a German U-boat sank the British liner Lusitania off the coast of Ireland, killing nearly 1,200 people.
In 1921, in an exclusive interview with the United Press, Sun Yat Sen, president of the Canton Chinese government, outlined his policy proposals as he sought recognition for his fledgling government.
In 1945, U.S. Army Gen. Dwight Eisenhower accepted the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany from Gen. Alfred Jodl.
In 1954, rebel Viet Minh forces overran the French stronghold of Dien Bien Phu, bringing about the end of French control in Indochina and creating the division of Vietnam.
In 1987, Rep. Stewart McKinney, R-Conn., died at age 56, the first member of Congress identified as a victim of AIDS. McKinney contracted the virus following a tainted blood transfusion.
In 1994, The Scream, Edvard Munch's famed expressionist painting, was found in a hotel room south of the Norwegian capital of Oslo three months after it was stolen. Thieves stole the painting again in 2004 and it was recovered a second time in 2006.
In 2000, Vladimir Putin was sworn in as Russia's second president in the first democratic transfer of executive power in the nation's 1,000-year history.
In 2007, officials reported no survivors in the crash of a Kenyan Airlines plane that went down in a Cameroon mangrove swamp with 114 people aboard.
In 2014, a Thai court, in an abuse-of-power ruling, removed Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra from office.
In 2017, France elected Emmanuel Macron, of La République En Marche! Party, president over Marine Le Pen of the National Front.
In 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin was inaugurated to his fifth term in office despite much of the Western world boycotting the ceremony because of the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

A lot of stuff won't be available to ship anymore, so that'll help.
