Michael Phelps fired a shot across the bow at Team USA’s male swimmers on Monday, telling USA Today that he wasn’t very impressed with their results at the Paris Olympics. “For me as a whole, I was pretty disappointed to see the U.S. swimming results,” the 39-year-old said. “Obviously, there were a few standout swims, and those you have to recognize.” He gave props to Bobby Finke’s “unbelievable” gold-medal performance in the 1,500-meter freestyle, which set a new world record. But “one of the things that I’ve always said over the last couple of years is the rest of the world is catching up,” Phelps explained. “I think a lot of the things that we’ve done as a country for so long, the other people are catching up. They’re doing the same thing.” Phelps retired from competitive swimming after the 2016 Rio Olympics, closing out his career with a whopping 28 Olympic medals, making him the most decorated Olympian of all time.Read it at USA TodayRead more at The Daily Beast.

I don't know about you, but where I'm at... it's still sooooo hot. The country as a whole has been under a huge heat wave this past week and today is no exception! I will say though, that we are lucky to have a dry heat instead of a humid heat. At least I don't feel like I'm drowning and on fire at the same time.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
