As predicted elsewhere on the interwebs, Katie Zacharia was fired as WH Press Secretary. DJT announced she would be WH Press Secretary October 9, 2026. So, her stint was 7 days. That's equivalent to 0.63636363 Scaramucci.
7 days is now a Zacharia, 11 days is a Scaramucci, and 51 days is a (Liz) Truss (former UK PM).
Living in the Southeast for such a long time, I have met a lot of Wake alumni, all quality caring people. I hope those Deacs that travel for the game have a good Berkeley experience.
I got downgraded for my 2nd guess *and* my 3rd guess, even though it was the solution! However, I did get a Sea of Greens and I Beat the Bot. So, there's that.

I was in Wake Forest yesterday. The town, not the university

ranked 21 .. favored by 8+ pts
at 5-1 w/ only loss to $5 Miami, maybe they are good?

i took a break from NYT crossword and when i tried to get back into it i really struggled.
what used to be easy Wed-Thu puzzles were all of a sudden hard. also, one gives up easily when it is not going well.
as of today i am back to getting Mon-Fri at least for last 5 days.
i think @newablany said it best, something like - it just takes a bunch of time to get to the end.
kinda crappy. i think my 2nd word could have been better

WNBA finals start Sat @ Golden State
Brewers sweep. first WS since 1982 and they are one of 5 MLB teams never to have won one
The 5 franchises never to win a World Series are -
NO WORLD SERIES APPEARANCES
Seattle Mariners
1 WORLD SERIES APPEARANCE
Colorado Rockies (2007)
2 WORLD SERIES APPEARANCES
Milwaukee Brewers (1982, 2026. Originally the Seattle Pilots)
San Diego Padres (1984, 1998)
Tampa Bay Rays (2008, 2020)
Mariners are the only team to never make it to the World Series.
Still feels wrong that those teams with Griffey or Ichiro never made it, but they didn't.
Beat LA!
to give credit to the Dodgers and their super-team. 2 straight WS wins and favored to win a 3rd is pretty impressive.
seems like injuries and poor end of season hit the Dodgers at the worse possible moment.
makes you appreciate all the streaks you see of 3-4-5 champions in a row
