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.

During the day 7 finals session of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Australian Cam McEvoy made history, winning Australia’s first gold medal in the men’s 50 freestyle. McEvoy won the race in 21.25, which was a bit off his Australian Record of 21.06, however, it got the job done. McEvoy has been on a journey of revolutionizing pure sprint training for the past few years, so let’s take a look at how his racing looks. While we don’t have an underwater video of McEvoy from the Olympic final a few days ago, we do have this video of him from the Australian Trials back in June, where he won in a time of 21.35, very similar to his winning time in Paris.

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.
