- Jeopardy! was great last night. The only male contestant looked like he was in his forties but sounded like he was in his eighties, and he was seated, and it was apparent he was suffering from a chronic illness. It turns out to be Parkinson’s. However, he was killing it. This was his lead before the first commercial break.
Here’s his score at the end of the first round.
He wouldn’t lose going into Final Jeopardy unless he wagered something stupid.
Thankfully, he kept his smarts and won despite his answer being wrong. He was trying to win an even $50,000, but his final score still showed dominance.
- It’s reported that Gene Hackman’s wife died from Hantavirus, a strain of viruses carried by rodents, primarily transmitted to humans through inhalation of airborne particles from dried rodent droppings. Here’s my theory on how she became infected. I bet an infected roden crawled inside her car for warmth and left droppings in the cabin air filter. When I lived in an apartment, I often found rodent droppings in my cabin air filter I replaced after getting an oil change. And anytime she ran the air conditioning or heat in her car, she breathed in the droppings.
- Just a reminder that this happened back in September 2023 by the same man trying to do the same thing to our government – According to Elon Musk’s own math, the company formerly known as Twitter has lost 90% of its value and could be worth just $4 billion

- Rangers cap that featured slang Spanish vulgarity removed from team online store – The latest collection of New Era hat designs appears to have some issues.They thought placing the team’s capital letter and posting it over the usual hat logo would be a good idea. In some cases, it didn’t turn out well. Here’s a screenprint of the translation for you innocent folk.
Some teams ran into similar issues, some not as bad as others.

Manus, an AI agent from China, is automating approximately 50 tasks, creating a rather dystopian scenario

- I never liked how close my bullet points displayed, so this time I thought I’d experiment by adding more space between them. And, instead of copying the text from an article and pasting the text, I’m starting to do a screenshot of what I want you to read. What are your thoughts? Once I find time, I want to find another theme that is simplistic but does a great job of spacing out things.
I might have never noticed the bullet change if you hadn’t pointed it out, but it is easier to read. My aging eyes are appreciative.
Last night’s Jeopardy champ put on a clinic. The returning champ just sort of backed into a win in a really bad game on Friday, so I wasn’t surprised a strong player came in and won so easily.
Glad you’re still posting on a regular basis. This blog is a still a part of my daily reading after what has to be approaching 20 years.
You really don’t know how much I appreciate this, Bryan. You may know me better than some of my childhood friends who are still in my life. It’s an honor to know I’m a part of your day. And, I appreciate your grace and patience for the times I could be a better person.
Same here. I would have never noticed, but it looks good. To be completely honest the Houston and Oakland hats are spot on.
