Sunday morning at the time today’s snapshot lede was taken. And being Sunday morning, that meant plenty of time to whip-up from-scratch waffles on the ol’ (and we mean old, like 30-plus years!) Belgian waffle iron. Don’t cheat yourself out of enjoying from-scratch waffles. Cooking from scratch is one of the best expressions of self-care (and care & love for your housemates, if you have that particular living arrangement and they also like your cooking) you can undertake. Get the real buttermilk out, melt some butter, throw in the eggs; add all that wet stuff to the flour & sugar & powder & soda & salt; mix, but not too well, otherwise you’ll end up with tough & chewy waffles, not the crispy-on-the-outside but fluffy melt-in-your mouth on-the-inside kind shown here. Show yourself some love & care & tenderness. Do it, don’t let Big Breakfast dictate how you should eat. Down with Kelloggs, down with General Mills. Up with your own supply!

International Cat Day today, they say, so here’s what our version of a feline thinks of THAT! In truth, he earlier barked to us and we translated it as ‘Yeah, well, I’m nonplussed. Make sure you quote that word nonplussed. I want the mopes to know I have a big vocabulary. Thank you.’

Your 2026 MLB trade deadline has come and gone, and your Phightin’ Philalala Phillies acquired the contact hitter of all contact hitters, one Mistah Luis Arraez, who in his first at-bat in the red pinstripes paid the immediate dividend shown in today’s video lede.

Big recap: two full days, and one late evening!

Another full-tilt Tchaikovsky Fireworks Spectacular last night at the storied venue pictured in today’s snapshot lede. Something for everybody. Entertainment galore.

July 2026 going out here in a blaze of glory, or not…

All right, all right, ya’ torrential precip-lovers! Take it easy! These Eastern Seaboard swamp-swells usually reserved for the autumn months have suddenly come early to your Capital Region of your Empire State; in other words, the rain is streaming down Upstate. Best wishes!

Tuesday!

You can never read too much, just like you can never be too thin, have too much pitching or have too many material resources, etc. If, like us, you are an oddball multitasker when it comes to certain (DEFINITELY NOT ALL!) things, you can try to sneak-in a little bit of light jogging while holding an e-reader in one hand and a remote-control page-turner and accomplish two quite beneficial activities at the same time — work your mental mind & work your physical body simultaneously!

Sunday!
