June 9 https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/june-9 With a spectacular victory at the Belmont Stakes, Secretariat becomes the first horse since Citation in 1948 to win America’s coveted Triple Crown: the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes. In one of the finest performances in racing history, Secretariat, ridden by Ron Turcotte, completed the 1.5-mile race in 2 minutes and 24 seconds, a dirt-track record for that distance. Secretariat was born at Meadow Stables in Doswell, Virginia, on March 30, 1970. He was sired by Bold Ruler, the 1957 Preakness winner, and foaled by Somethingroyal, which came from a Thoroughbred line known for its stamina. An attractive chestnut colt, he grew to over 16 hands high and was at two years the size of a three-year-old.

June 8, 1775. Lord Dunmore leaves the Palace in Williamsburg, Va and takes refuge aboard the British ship Fowey in the York River. (He's feeling reprisals following the Gun Powder Theft from the Williamsburg Armory in April) June 8, 1775. The three remaining Shawnee chiefs are left to consider their position. After Dunmore' s retreat and fearing reprisals by the Virginians, one Shawnee chief, Chenusaw, flees Williamsburg en route to Ohio Shawnee towns. There, he spreads rumors of Virginia' s intent to invade the Ohio and enslave Shawnee; he urges a unified attack against the frontier settlements.

It was a couple of generations before pocket computers. Back when people still talked to each other.

I've started using it for things like trip planning and such. We're talking about a monthlong driving trip following Lewis and Clark. It's also been helpful on things like curated playlists and such.

Probably so, Garcia may have been the mule. Then the question is who was paying the bills? Dollars to a donut the guy importing the "workers" gets off free. Maybe the regime needs to start punishing businesses that import the cheap labor. They have been doing it forever and getting off scott free, because they know they can get away with it.

And for some reason every household in America had a person who crocheted it. Same colors and everything

The chemistry was good in the booth, not as annoying as say the Monday Night Football groupings. Of course back then 19 to 20 something year old me's preferred method of watching the Game of the Week was watching innings 1-3, snoozing thru the middle portion and waking up for the end.

This is the type of persons we should not consider deporting, however they seem to be the ones getting caught in the net, not real criminals.

Maybe a combination of things. How many careers were shortened by the "just play thru it philosophies", especially with pitchers? Also the investment in many of the players may play into it, especially in the terms of having multi year contracts vs one year deals. Not to mention player cost

Being teamed with Curt Gowdy and Joe Garagiola didn't hurt....

June 6 https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/june-6/d-day Incidentally, if you happen to be traveling in the foothills of Western Virginia between Lynchburg and Roanoke the National D Day Memorial is located in Bedford, Va. https://www.dday.org. Soldiers from Bedford were part of Company A of the 116th Infantry Regiment, 29th Division. 35 Soldiers from that small town were assigned to that Division, 19 died that day, another 4 would lose their lives before the end of the campaign. The greatest proportion of losses of any town in America

Just when you thought the day's news couldn't get any crazier...

Yep, as long as Trump is in office they will always claim life is dushi

In other words

Serious question. Assuming this feud is real and not Apprentice style reality theatre, what are the implications. Musk has had access to the keys of the government, supposedly knows where the bodies are buried, all sorts of security access and information. His "minions" are still there on their computers "working on DOGE projects. We've go the workings of a DEFCON 1 government crises led by a guy who has absolutely no clue how a government is supposed to operate. Most of the flunkeys he's put in charge of major departments are just as bad. And the next guy (Vance) in line beliefs are probably even worse, How the heck to we get out of this mess in one piece

I tend to doubt Rodgers will survive to week 16.

i was never a big WWF fan. More into the NWA in the 70s, Saturday afternoon wrestling before This Week in Baseball. Also a bit of Studio Wrestling in the 60s.

That and having to deal with I80/94, not to mention the price of the Skyway and dealing with crazy folks on the Dan Ryan.

Only as long as we get to see the ICE arrest.

i saw some early speculation that the Trump/Musk "Feud" has a bit of a pro wrestling feel. In a lot of way Musk turns "heel" on Trumpers. We'll see the "Turn" in November '26. i'm just not sure the country has an attention span that long Meanwhile, enjoy
