NEWS OF THE WEEK

 Last Sunday night, the Bengals put together an unimpressive win over the NY Giants.  Our boys travel to Cleveland this Sunday.

Major League Baseball has whittled its teams down to a final four.  NY Yanks vs Cleveland and LA Dodgers vs NY Mets.  They are playing seven-game series with the winners to meet in the World Series.  The games have been pretty interesting.

Hurricane Milton has come and gone but there were still 2 million homes without electric power at the beginning of the week.  

Twenty four people got stuck in an elevator that went down into an old gold mine in Colorado.  One died, 23 are no longer interested in how gold was mined 130 years ago.

A comet flew by Earth the other day for the first time in 80,000 years.  Astronomers were excited because it was real close to us.  It only missed Earth by 44 million miles.  I thought only politicians exaggerated.

Elon Musk introduced real live robo-taxi vehicles at a press show in Vegas; no steering wheels, no pedals, no problem. He also has one the size of a motor home on the way.  Sell your Uber stock.

A couple day later, Musk's huge starship rocket traveled to space and the booster returned and landed on the same gantry it left from.  Amazing!

The U.S. sent help to the Israelis in the form of an air defense system and 100 troops to train the IDF.  Later in the week, Israel confirmed another leader, this time the top man of the Hamas group, has been eliminated.  

Amazon and Google announced they are building their own nuclear reactors to satisfy their current and future needs.  It seems AI is very energy intensive.  Don't tell the progressives.

Cincinnati became the center of the art world this weekend.  Artists from all over the world tried to get spots on the project's agenda.  

Travels:  Joe to Baltimore, Frank to Austin, Lucy to Toronto, Ben to Ohio!
