Today is Friday, July 11, the 192nd day of 2025
with 173 to follow.
The moon is waning. Morning stars are Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and Venus. Evening stars are Mars, Mercury, Neptune and Saturn.
On this date in history:
In 1804, U.S. Vice President Aaron Burr killed longtime political foe Alexander Hamilton, the first treasury secretary, in a duel at Weehawken, N.J. Distant relatives of the two rivals re-enacted the famous meeting on the 200th anniversary in 2004.
In 1847, songwriter Stephen Foster's first major hit, "Oh! Susanna," was performed for the first time, in a Pittsburgh saloon. It soon became a standard for minstrel shows.
In 1859, Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities" was published.
In 1914, legendary hitter Babe Ruth makes his debut in Major League Baseball. The Great Bambino would go on to become one of the greatest baseball players of all time and was included in the inaugural class of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
In 1952, U.S. Army Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower was nominated as the Republican presidential candidate, with Richard Nixon as his running mate. They were elected that November.
In 1955, the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado was dedicated, with 300 cadets in its first class.
In 1960, Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird was published.
In 1979, Skylab, the United States' first space station, fell to Earth after six years in orbit, scattering tons of debris across the Australian desert.
In 1995, the United States resumed diplomatic relations with Vietnam.
In 1995, Bosnian Serbs claim the town of Srebrenica, Bosnia-Herzegovina, starting a genocide that would result in the deaths of more than 7,000 Muslim men and boys.
In 2006, more than 200 people were killed and another 700 injured in coordinated rush-hour terrorist attacks on the transit system in Mumbai.
In 2011, an overloaded Russian cruise ship with a malfunctioning engine capsized in the Volga River during a thunderstorm and quickly sank, killing 122 people. There were 79 survivors.
In 2015, Drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman escaped from a maximum-security Mexican prison on through a 5,000-foot tunnel. It was his second escape from prison, and he would later be caught in January 2016.
In 2022, U.S. President Joe Biden, in conjunction with NASA, unveiled the first image taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, featuring a grouping of galaxies.
In 2024, Cole Escola's comedic play Oh, Mary! about first lady Mary Todd Lincoln Todd opened on Broadway after an initial run off-Broadway. Escola won the Best Actor in a Play Tony Award for his role as the titular character and Sam Pinkleton won for the Best Director.

Got the title for the new car in the mail today, so I'll have to head to the DMV at some point to get some new plates. When I put the plates on the old car, it took serious effort to get them on there. I joked that one day, I'd be driving around nothing but the license plates. I told the guy last week, you probably won't be able to get them off because they were on there solidly. He took a look, said he thought he could get them off, then went to get some tools. I did not leave with those plates. :D

Man, the oldest woke up swollen even worse today than she was yesterday. She's over here looking like Stan Smith from American Dad.

My girls really didn't swell at all. They kept ice on it for the first 36 or so hours. I wish I knew where that paper was with all the dentist's instructions. It probably got thrown out.

The last 2 were just guessing. In fact, the word I got the second hint on was actually the last one I found. I was guessing with the remaining letters and just happened to guess them in the right order.
