Krazy Pic 1 One has to be a little careful on escalators, so I can understand some RULES for them. I think we could have predicted almost all of these (but one?)
Krazy Pic 2 And I guess I understand pedestrian safety. But I still have some questions.
Cartoon of the Week Time for another visit to our outrageous friend HERMAN: Today, he’s visiting the eye doctor.
Curiosity of the Week They usually say a ‘dog year’ is roughly 7 human years. In that case, this Australian cattle dog lived the rough equivalent of over 200 human years! (You can also learn of another inaccuracy in our last claim.)
Yesterday’s Date in History Yesterday was certainly a historic day for the Presidency. Here are some other things that happened on July 21.
Today’s Date in History Since we normally pull out the date in history for the day the Mailing goes out . . . Here are some things that happened on July 22.
Birthday Fun Prize Update Well, it turns out Rita Barger has indeed won all the prizes I have to offer (except the red Porsche, and she didn’t like that color), so she magnanimously suggested that she pass on winning and that I make another drawing. So, I dragged out the random number generator from the storeroom, and got it started on the third try. Eventually, it sputtered out a number, and the new winner is Christina Capstick! Congrats to Christina (who wins the second Spitballs book), and thanks to Rita. (One last look at the fun we had last year. Maybe we’ll do it again in another half-decade or so?!)

Pesky Puzzler 24.13 Today’s ‘normal’ Puzzler is a Tripleheader, so you have some choice. But since we’re into Presidential history today, here’s a BONUS: (Answering it counts as a solution!) Who’s the only sitting President who was pulled over for exceeding the Washington, DC speed limit . . . on a horse?!?!
