And we're making progress. Maybe a good share of Americans are headed somewhere for the Fourth -- but not most of the people here in the San Luis Valley. After all, we now have regular parades now of RVs, loaded-down campers and other slow-moving (and gawking) tourists, many of them on their way to campgrounds and the Great Sand Dunes. Why would we want to fight our way through there? Better to stay home, and go after Labor Day, when most people have gone home. It's cooler, anyway.
And now maybe, finally we don't have to hear all the minute details about Jeff Bezos' wedding: who attended, who wore what, etc etc. Enough, already!
Meanwhile:
A surprising number of aircraft crashes have had one person survive...including the survivor of the Air India crash a few weeks ago. Click on the header for the list.
Princess Diana had one request that her designer refused -- shorter skirts! There are a number of costumes in this link well worth reviewing -- she had a flair for clothes.
A top economist admits that Trump might have been right about tariffs, after all. Poor man.
Napoleon relics draw nearly $10 million at auction! Okay, his penis wasn't one of the items offered. (I am not making this up.) But the stuff could have been...
Things found in the attic, walls, outside...and at the thrift shop.
The first dog to lie in state at the Minnesota capital -- along with his master and mistress. He was a Good Boy, and deserves it.
Chinese dynasties, listed in order -- all 18 of them. Learn something new.
'I'll never manage money for anyone for free again.' Understandable, Financial Samurai.

Some very funny celebration pictures. Including this one:
Ten insights into 'alien worlds.' Don't freak out on this -- Listverse means other planets, mostly in our solar system. Not little green men.
New discoveries about the ancient world. Does this mean that 'cave men' were a lot smarter than scientists thought!?
Met Gala costumes... weird, but fascinating.
Is the Duchess of Markle just repackaging Williams Sonoma products for her 'As Ever' line? It's happened many times before...
Lessons learned from working a shift on Christmas Eve. From a doctor who's had to do it -- and more than once. (From the White Coat Investor)
A very interesting Bigfoot video, taken off the Colorado River. No, I'm not sure it's viable. But worth deciding for yourself.
Have a good week.
