I knew all this ubering would catch up to me. I got pulled over last night for an expired registration. The irony is that I spent about an hour earlier in the day looking for the paperwork so that I can renew it. I never found it. The issue is that I need this special pin that's only provided on the renewal notification they send in the mail... And apparently, you can also enter other information about the car and receive the pin online. Wound up doing it on my phone in the parking lot after I received my $55 ticket and a threat of impounding. Turns out it wasn't that hard.

Good morning Tony. Happy Little Friday.

Today is Thursday, Oct. 2, the 275th day of 2025
with 90 to follow.
The moon is waxing. Morning stars are Jupiter, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and Venus. Evening stars are Mars, Mercury, Neptune and Saturn.
On this date in history:
In 1925, Scottish inventor John Logie Baird performed the first test of a working television system.
In 1950, the "Peanuts" comic strip by Charles M. Schulz was published for the first time. The comic ran for 50 years until Schulz's death in 2000 from cancer.
In 1967, Thurgood Marshall was sworn in as the first Black justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed legislation establishing Redwood National Park and North Cascades National Park.
In 1970, a plane crash in Colorado killed 31 people, including members of the Wichita State University football team.
In 1984, Richard Miller became the first FBI agent to be charged with espionage. He was convicted of passing government secrets to the Soviet Union through his Russian lover.
In 1985, actor Rock Hudson died of AIDS. He was 59. The first celebrity to publicly acknowledge he suffered from AIDS, Hudson's final days were marked by visits from screen legends.
In 2001, NATO said the United States had shown evidence, sufficient to justify military action, that Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida were responsible for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
In 2002, a 55-year-old Maryland man was slain in the first in a series of apparent random sniper attacks that terrorized the Washington area for three weeks. John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were both convicted of capital murder for the killings, which numbered 17 in total. Muhammad was executed Nov. 10, 2009. Malvo was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
In 2006, five Amish girls were fatally shot in a rural, one-room schoolhouse in Nickle Mines, Pa. The suspect, a milk truck driver who also killed himself, had told his wife he needed to avenge something that had happened 20 years earlier.
In 2020, President Donald Trump announced he and first lady Melania Trump were diagnosed with COVID-19. The president would go on to be hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for treatment.

I hear you on that. I keep running into that same issue and it's especially frustrating because it's inconsistent.
