Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

History Facts lists eight names US parents no longer give their newborns, which you may no longer hear in Virginia. The girls' names are Doris, Gertrude, Mildred, and Judith. I know or have known women with all four names, but they are either baby boomers or boomer parents' ages and someone's grandma or great aunt. Consider the ages of females in Virginia you know with these names.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

LCM (50 meters) Prelims Live Recaps: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4. Two days into the 2023 World Championships, we published a YouTube video titled “what’s going on with Team USA?” after the Americans finished day one of the meet without a gold medal for the first time since 1994. The common consensus then was that we were just overreacting. Even when Team USA had its worst gold medal count at an Olympics/World Championships since 1994, there were plenty of explanations behind their underperformance: the team went on a red-eye flight from Singapore to Fukuoka, there was only a three-week turnaround from trials to Worlds, and this meet could have just been another repeat of the notoriously 2015 World Championships. The expectation was that the Americans would rise to the occasion during the Olympic year.
