Lots of ubering today. Got my son to football practice already and need to pick him up again at noon. My other boy has to be taken to band camp a little later, and my wife has to be taken to work, since we're down one car (lent it to my nephew).

My wife is in that boat today, and for the foreseeable future. Already left to take the younger 2 to school. A little later, she has to take the oldest downtown to the metro campus, because one of her classes is there this semester. She's not happy about this. :D

That's just out of her comfort zone at the moment, but I'll predict that will be her favorite class. Or is it your wife that isn't happy about this?

Lol, no, the wife is definitely the one not happy about it. The oldest doesn't care, other than maybe trying to find her way around a different campus. But for some reason, this class was only offered there, so she had little choice.

I take that back, it might have also been offered at their east campus, but that's even farther away than the one downtown. And also not the one she normally goes to.

Today is Monday, Aug. 25, the 237th day of 2025
with 128 to follow.

The moon is waxing. Morning stars are Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and Venus. Evening stars are Mars, Mercury, Neptune and Saturn.

On this date in history:


In 1609, Galileo Galilei exhibited his first telescope in Venice.

In 1718, the city of New Orleans was founded.

In 1944, allied forces and the French resistance freed the city of Paris from German occupation during World War II. United Press reporter James McGlincy was the first foreign correspondent in the capital amid the fighting. He reported the Parisians welcomed the Allies with kisses: "Lord, how they kissed us!"

In 1967, a sniper assassinated American Nazi leader George Lincoln Rockwell in Arlington, Va.

In 1982, U.S. President Ronald Reagan ordered the deployment of the Marines to Beirut amid the Lebanese Civil War. The troops were part of a multinational force that ultimately stayed in Lebanon until March 1984. More than 260 U.S. service members died during the deployment, most during a barracks bombing in 1983.

In 1985, Samantha Smith, 13, was killed with her father and six other people in a plane crash in Maine. Samantha's 1983 letter to Soviet President Yuri Andropov about her fear of nuclear war earned her a visit to the Soviet Union.

In 1989, Voyager 2, after a 4 billion-mile journey, made its closest pass over Neptune, sending back images of southern lights and its moon, Triton, to Earth.

In 2009, U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., a liberal fixture in the Senate for 46 years, died of brain cancer at the age of 77.

In 2012, former astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, died in Cincinnati. He was 82.

In 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall on San Jose Island, Texas, as a Category 4 storm. Harvey killed more than 100 people and caused $125 billion in damage.

In 2020, the Africa Regional Certification Commission declared Africa free of wild polio after four years without a case. It returned less than two years later.
