45 years ago today, Jerry White clubbed a three-run home run for the Montreal Expos in the fifth inning to lead them to a 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the 1981 NLCS. Steve Rogers tossed a complete-game, seven-hitter for the Expos.

If it weren't for Doug Ford I think people would more correctly process that the push for expanding Billy Bishop started *inside the Toronto Port Authority*, and earlier this year they begged him to shut up. It's not like the current management of Canadian airports is innocent and pure.

Today is Venn Day, in celebration of the mathematician John Venn, born on this day in 1834. To commemorate the occasion, here’s a poem in the form of a Venn Diagram.

Poem title: At the Intersection

The poem is divided into two overlapping circles.

The left-hand circle is titled ‘me’ and the text reads:
the day we
went out to have
an ice-cream, we said nothing
just let our silence melt in
the air as we walked across the common
our love never tiring at all

The right-hand circle is titled ‘you’ and the text reads:
we should
have talked it over but
nothing ever seems to get
in your fat head. You are so
common that I wish we’d never met
at all and I’d married Tim instead

In the intersection of the poem (where the two circles overlap), the text reads:
we
have
nothing
in
common
at all
