Good day #AT40 friends. Summer 1978 post HS graduation. Working at camp, pondering college around the corner. Celebrating my 18th birthday 8/5. Here I am at 17 at a HS grad party with my prom date. Double stacked Foster's lager cans. Now I'm off to the farmers market while it's still cool outside.

And every time Marco lies, his ears grow longer.
Q: Do you rule out striking civilian infrastructure? MARCO RUBIO: Iran's policy is an eye for an eye. The president's policy is a head for an eye. Honestly. That's what it's going to be. They're going to pay a very heavy price. They are going to suffer more. (Definitely not a yes!)

#AT40 Could it be magic? Not so much. Me at 14 and my date to the HS Freshman Farewell dance, June 1975. Talk about awkward. I drank a half a can of beer that night and that made the evening quite fun, actually. Went to a party where the parents bought beer and "supervised".

Axel Springer, the company that owns Politico, awards its top prize to...Antichrist lecturer Peter Thiel. No mention of the $50 million Thiel gave the son of Axel Springer's CEO to start a venture capital fund. But the CEO lauds Thiel's "courage and non-conformity." www.welt.de/wirtschaft/a...
