Watched the end of the all-star game yesterday. It ended in a tie, and then they did a mini home run derby to break it. The NL ultimately came up on top.

Seems like as good a way to break the tie as anything.

I wish I had the chance to watch more of it. Seemed like they really made it into a produced show. They'd stop between innings and do tributes, etc.

Today should be less crazy than yesterday. There's a little less ubering since there is no baseball game. They started strong and wound up getting crushed by the end. Next month, football practice goes from 3 to 6 days a week.

Well, that's good news. Neither kid worked yesterday, so I've had a nice couple of days without any Ubering. Though, we did all go out for ice cream after dinner last night. But I'm not gonna count that, since it ended with me having some ice cream.

That sounds lovely. Our schedules have been all over the place, but I'm hoping there's ice cream in our future.

Sounds like you need to start working on some networking now to share some of that Uber time.

This is a small local place that makes some really good stuff. They used to have a plaque commemorating a visit from President Uncle Joe until someone destroyed it, because 'Murica.

A little off today....

Today is Wednesday, July 16, the 199th day of 2025
with 168 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 1790, the U.S. Congress designated the District of Columbia as the permanent seat of the U.S. government.

In 1935, the world's first parking meter was installed in Oklahoma City.

In 1945, the first test of the atom bomb was conducted at a base near Alamogordo, N.M. Because the test was top secret, military officials issued a press release announcing the explosion of a remote ammunition dump in case civilians noticed the blast.

In 1951, J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye was published.

In 1959, Billie Holiday, considered one of the greatest jazz singers despite a tragic life, died of cardiac failure at age 44.

In 1969, Apollo 11, the first moon-landing mission, was launched from the Kennedy Space Center, carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins.

In 1980, Ronald Reagan was unanimously nominated as the Republican candidate for president at the GOP National Convention in Detroit. He chose George H. W. Bush as his running mate after former President Gerald Ford declined to join the ticket.

In 1990, an earthquake struck Luzon Island in the Philippines, killing about 1,600 people.

In 1999, John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and her sister, Lauren Bessette, were killed in the crash of a single-engine plane in the Atlantic Ocean off the Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard. The son of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy was 39.

In 2004, TV personality and businesswoman Martha Stewart was sentenced to five months in prison and five months of house arrest after being found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of an agency proceeding and making false statements to federal investigators.

In 2015, four Marines were killed and three others seriously injured when a gunman opened fire at two U.S. military facilities in Chattanooga, Tenn. The attacker, Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez, was killed by police in a gunfight.

In 2023, China recorded its highest temperature to date -- 126 degrees in the township of Sanbao.
