Rolled credits on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It’s a flawed masterpiece of a work of art and I bawled through the last 15 minutes of gameplay and cutscenes.

Played Commander with my daughter tonight. During her independent time today, she went though her loose Final Fantasy Magic cards and created her own Commander deck for the first time. She had some good instincts and knew all the parameters. #mtg

Beautiful night at the San Diego Wave game with my daughter. I suspect there won’t be a brawl in the parking lot like there was last night for the SD Men’s team.

I find comfort in understanding our past.

The Delanos prospered at Algonac, and Warren's business affairs flour-ished.* That is, until the summer of 1857, when without warning the giant Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company, the second largest bank east of the Mississippi, abruptly closed its doors. Panic struck the nation's financial com-munity. Years of wild speculation in railroads, coal mines, and real estate had vastly inflated stock prices. The market dropped 50 percent overnight. Banks suspended specie payment, thousands of businesses closed, commodity prices plummeted. Federal troops were called out to protect government buildings.
In San Francisco, the fledgling banker William Tecumseh Sherman went under. In Missouri, Ulysses S. Grant was driven off his farm. Across America prosperity turned sour. Tens of thousands of people lost everthing they had

Proclamations typically:

• deal with the activities of private individuals;

• do not have the force and effect of law, unless the President is given the authority over private
and
individuals by the Constitution or a federal statute;

• are ceremonial in nature now, but historically did much more "heavy lifting".
