Busy evening slate for us this week. Youngest has volleyball games tonight and Thursday, and tomorrow, we're helping the in-laws get stuff out of their garage so they can refinish the floor, since the house is now up for sale. And they're hoping for a fast sale, because they've already purchased their new place.

Isn't it odd that you spend all kinds of money getting the house spiffed up better than when you lived in it only to sell it.

Yeah, appreciate the sentiment. It was a complete nightmare today. Mostly caused by broken down cars in the lane ahead of me.

Today is Tuesday, Oct. 14, the 287th day of 2025
with 78 to follow.
The moon is waning. Morning stars are Jupiter, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and Venus. Evening stars are Mars, Mercury, Neptune and Saturn.
On this date in history:
In 1066, William, Duke of Normandy, better known as William the Conqueror, led his invading army to victory over England's King Harold at Hastings.
In 1322, Scotland's Robert the Bruce defeats King Edward II of England at Old Byland, forcing Edward to accept Scotland's independence.
In 1884, George Eastman received his first "film" patent No. US306594 A for negative paper. While this was a paper film, not the transparent film that many who were taking photographs prior to the advent of the iPhone might remember, it was not met with much success. It was, however, an important step in the development process and its improved versions were incorporated into Kodak's first camera which was introduced in 1888.
In 1912, former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, campaigning for a return to office, was shot in Milwaukee. He refused to have the wound treated until he finished his speech. Speaking later with his surgeon, Roosevelt would joke, "They will have to use higher caliber lead than that if they want to get me. It would take a Howitzer to kill a bull moose.
In 1926, A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh was published.
In 1933, Nazi Germany, angry and steeling herself to any consequences, announced her withdrawal from the League of Nations and the World Disarmament Conference."
In 1947, U.S. Air Force Capt. Chuck Yeager, 24, flying a Bell X-1, became the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound.
In 1964, U.S. civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., 35, became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. He accepted the prize on behalf of "all men who love peace and brotherhood.
In 1964, Nikita Khrushchev was ousted as premier of the Soviet Union and leader of the Soviet Communist party.
In 1991, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Peace Prize to Aung San Suu Kyi, a dissident leader in Myanmar, for her non-violent opposition to the country's military rulers. She became the de facto leader of the country in 2016 but was ousted from power and arrested by the military in 2021.
In 1992, the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Oakland A's, 4 games to 2, to win the American League pennant and become the first Canadian team to go to the World Series.
In 1994, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded jointly to two Israelis, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
In 2012, Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner became the first person to break the sound barrier without the protection or propulsion of a vehicle. He died in July 2025 in a paragliding accident in Italy.
In 2024, NASA's $5 billion Europa Clipper spacecraft launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, starting a six-year journey to Jupiter's icy moon.

Yes, but you'll spend less money that way. When you fix it up to live in it, you'll spend money that you can't get back. When you're just trying to do enough to sell, it's cheaper. ;-)

In fairness, that's the name (pun intended) of the game. I've seen many people that I recognize after you post pics, but didn't know their names. And that's what it's all about.
