It’s well known that our country will celebrate its 250th birthday this summer, the semiquincentennial, and that’s why you see this logo quite often.
If you’re interested, here’s an article about the logo. But just for kicks, I was wondering what the logo would look like if they used Roman numerals like the NFL typically does for the Super Bowl. Well, if we went that route, instead of seeing the numerical 250, you’d see CCL, and that’s just not visually appealing. And CCC isn’t appealing for the 300th, either.
If you are looking for ways to celebrate, Sam’s is selling these for $199.75.
DogGeedingII had a check-up yesterday. The vet said his heart sounded much better and that his heart medication seems to be helping.
The Knicks’ historic comeback victory in Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals is a win for all of us who put things off until the last minute.
For the last few months, I’ll sleep for two or three hours, wake up, and just can’t go back to sleep.
I’m not sure why I’m seeing Reha Seehorn and the cast of Pluribus make so many media appearances lately. The second season is nowhere near finished. In a 45-minute chat/interview with Bryan Cranston, she stated she’s been with her partner, realtor Graham Larson, for 13 years and has been engaged for 11 of those years.
For those of us who grew up when ESPN’s SportsCenter was at its peak, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this series Rich Eisen has been doing. Episode one is with Dan Patrick, and the second is with Chris Berman. It’s some great stuff.

The Guardian: What would Jesus drink? Welcome to the age of Christian energy beverages – Drink brands such as Yahweh and Praise Energy say they’re raising awareness for Christianity – but are they just treating Jesus like an uncopyrighted Mickey Mouse?
I’m reminded of a line from the U2 song If God Would Send His Angles, “Jesus never let me down / You know Jesus used to show me the score / Then they put Jesus in show business / Now it’s hard to get in the door.”

Today, give yourself the most simple and doable of tasks: just don’t make stuff worse.
For some reason, I decided to start riding my bike again, and had a decent streak going. I really overdid it yesterday and had to take a day off. For the heck of it, I looked up my activity on my Google Fit app.
President Trump’s pick to fill the Director of National Intelligence position, Bill Pulte, has no known background in intelligence. He would be overseeing the nation’s 18 spy agencies. The 38-year-old also has no military or foreign policy experience.
It’s just a dumb (and even dangerous) idea, even if it’s only for the interim, to put someone with zero professional experience, education, or work history in the intelligence community, the military, or the national security sector.
And here I thought the dumbest nomination a president has made in my lifetime was George W. Bush’s choice of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court.
People are spotting these Tesla Robotaxis all over Dallas, especially the Medical District, and the reviews have been somewhat positive. Inside, they are roomier than a Waymo. However, I have read several reports of them making errors. The current introductory pricing in the Metroplex follows a formula of a $3.25 base fare plus $1.00 per mile, according to their website.
I enjoy watching these restoration videos. The work they do really is amazing. The paper they work with is so delicate, especially when they wet it. And I had no idea you could get rid of the yellowing of white plastic.
