Busy day coming up for us. The in-laws are trying to get their house ready to sell so they can move into something a little smaller and on one floor. Can't remember if I mentioned this, but my MIL hurt her knee pretty good a week or so ago. Her knees have always given her trouble, since she worked on her feet a lot, but this time, it was pretty bad. She's in a rehab place at the moment (oddly enough, the same place my grandma was in at the end of her life). They've wanted to move out of their house for a while, because it's a split level with very steep stairs. Now, they don't have much choice, because she won't be able to navigate the stairs well even when she's healed up. So they're in the process of getting everything packed and fixed up. The wife and youngest were over there yesterday getting some stuff in boxes. Today, it's more of that, plus some furniture movement and I think a bit of painting.

I know damn well that A and B are the same, but I only report what is being offered. Supposedly the MSRPs are different, and therefore, the percentages discounted to reach the same price are also different.

Didn't notice the differing MSRPs, was trying to figure out what the difference was now that the deal finally updated.

I definitely didn't play that first one, yet I thought I remembered using CIGAR. Based on the math, today's should be puzzle #1462 and I've only played 1191 times.

Today is Thursday, June 19, the 170th day of 2025
with 195 to follow.
Today is Juneteenth in the United States.
The moon is waning. Morning stars are Mars, Neptune, Saturn and Venus. Evening stars are Jupiter and Mars.
On this date in history:
In 1846, two amateur baseball teams played under new rules at Hoboken, N.J., planting the first seeds of organized baseball. The New York Nine beat the Knickerbockers, 23-1.
In 1856, the first Republican national convention ended in Philadelphia with the nomination of explorer John Charles Fremont of California for president. James Buchanan, a Federalist nominated by the Democrats, was elected.
In 1865, nearly two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, freedom from slavery was announced in Galveston, Texas, the most remote area of the country where slavery was still practiced. The day came to be celebrated annually as Juneteenth, Freedom Day, Jubilee Day and Liberation Day.
In 1867, Austrian Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, installed as emperor of Mexico by French Emperor Napoleon III in 1864, was executed on the orders of Benito Juarez, president of the Mexican Republic.
In 1905, Pittsburgh showman Harry Davis opened the world's first nickelodeon, showing "The Great Train Robbery," a silent Western film. The storefront theater had 96 seats, charged 5 cents and prompted the advent of movie houses across the United States.
In 1910, Spokane, Wash., had the first Father's Day.
In 1944, World War II's Battle of the Philippine Sea began. Japanese forces tried unsuccessfully to prevent further Allied advancement in the South Pacific.
In 1953, convicted spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed by electric chair at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, N.Y.
In 1965, Nguyen Cao Ky became the prime minister of South Vietnam, the ninth leader within the past 20 months.
In 1972, Hurricane Agnes made landfall in the Florida Panhandle, going on to kill 128 people along the eastern U.S. seaboard.
In 1987, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a 1981 Louisiana law that required schools to teach the creationist theory of human origin espoused by fundamentalist Christians.
In 1991, Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar surrendered to police in Medellin in the wake of the assassination of Luis Carlos Galan. Authorities convinced him to give himself up in exchange for a lighter sentence for prior criminal activity -- activity which continued after his imprisonment.
In 1999, horror novelist Stephen King was hit by a car and severely injured while out for a walk in rural Maine.
In 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that prayers led by students at public high school football games aren't permitted under the constitutional separation of church and state. In 2022, the high court ruled, however, that a school district in Washington violated a coach's First Amendment rights when they stopped him from publicly praying on the field after games.
In 2008, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, became the first candidate at that level to bypass public financing since the program was established.
In 2013, James Gandolfini, who starred in the gangster drama The Sopranos, died of a heart attack in Rome. He was 51.
In 2014, Felipe VI was proclaimed Spain's new king after his father, King Juan Carlos, abdicated the throne.
In 2019, Joy Harjo was named the first Native American poet laureate of the United States.
In 2024, the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, concluded after at least 1,300 people died over the five-day trek. Officials blamed a lack of cooling centers, sleeping accommodations and other critical services as temperatures soared above 125 degrees Fahrenheit.

Good morning, Dave. I shall be spending the day working on my honey-do list. I've got relatives coming from Italy in a month and need to get the house ready. I might eat some soul food for lunch though, does that count?
