Some thinking

 It was nice leaving the doctor office knowing I lost 26 pounds. Felt good.  Got thinking of license plate and U-Haul trucks. The truck graphics seen since June 1 is at 14, US plates at 24 and trailers at 22.  I've seen one or two Canadian trailer graphics, all but two plates (Nunavut and Prince Edward Island). And seen all but one truck graphic, that being Prince Edward Island. Canadian ones were easier to remember. 

More flag football

 Day after the women qualified, the men's team qualified for the 2028 summer Olympics. Had to beat Mexico in overtime to do it. They need the USA to beat Mexico in the semis to have a chance and got it.

Some flag football

 So, flag football is in the next summer games and Canada's women's team has qualified. Won their semi final game over Mexico 20-6 and will face the USA for the championship. (No idea which one).

On this day

 On this day in 1958, the newly renamed CFL played its first game in Winnipeg as the Blue Bombers bead the Edmonton Eskimos 29-21. Winnipeg beat Hamilton for that years Grey Cup 35-28.

Random fun facts

 Key West FL is closer to Havana Cuba than to Miami FL. Detroit is north of Windsor. Derby Line Stanstead is a welll know border town. Some of the US/Canada border is on the road. The rest in town goes through homes AND a library.  Stuart McLean recorded an episode of the Vinyl Cafe from that library.

Random thoughts.

 Where were you on this day in 1988? I'm talking "that trade." Heard it over the radio and lost it. Was playing Lego with my sister at the time. Now we have teams in places that never had teams at the time of the trade.

On this day

 On this day the first ever night game at Wrigley Field was set to take place vs the Phillies. Game ends up getting called in the 4th due to rain. First official night game was the next night vs the Mets. Cubs won 6-4.
