Yes, he ended the streak. Personally, I think his loss was deliberate. He is a master of history, people, geography and yet he didn't buzz in to answer. Plus is extremely low wager on Final Jeopardy was a joke.

Nice playing though. He was quite knowledgeable and really a treat to watch the way he betted.

If companies were more flexible, a lot more people with mental health issues could be employed.

It's Eid, and the Islamic Education Centre down on the corner is buzzing! If I drive off now I might not get my parking spot back for awhile. If memory serves correctly there will be a big do this morning, then they go away, then around supper time a huge crowd shows up for a feast then after a few hours it's deserted again.

Had a good trip to the zoo yesterday then went for a fish and chips lunch.

Walking down my street from the bus stop, the sun was shining and I could see my nice new metal roof looking beautiful :thumbup:

People always complain that I never answer the phone, but when almost every call is some sort of scam or telemarketer, no point in keeping the ringer on.

If companies for jobs would modernize and utilize email, I would get the rid of the phone altogether.
