Wow! US takes gold and bronze in women's monobob.

40 year old Elana Meyers Taylor took the gold and Kallie Humphries took the bronze.

Well this is concerning.

USPS shifts postmark policy that could impact your taxes.

The United States Postal Service quietly changed how it applies postmarks,
and that operational tweak could ripple straight into your tax bill. By shifting the postmark from the local counter to regional processing centers, the Postal Service has effectively shortened the practical window for taxpayers who rely on the mail to prove they paid on time.

This will also impact mail in voting.

Hallelujah!

A touchdown at last.

Well this is a first.

The NASCAR Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium is the first oval track race I've seen
being run in the rain. Of course, it's only a 1/4 mile track so it's not like they're
getting up to super speedway speeds.
