Gas prices hit a national record high average of $5.01 a gallon over the weekend… with the average price in Michigan at $5.21 for regular (as of this writing).

Queen Elizabeth II officially became the world's second-longest serving monarch of all time Sunday, having officially reigned as head of state for 70 years and 126 days.

- With all the family drama she’s been through… I’m sure it seems more like 80 years and 126 days.

Louis XIV of France holds the title for longest-serving sovereign with 72 years and 110 days. He was on the throne from 1643 until 1715.

Juan Carlos Garcia, the first CEO of Amazon Mexico, remains on the lam even as the trial in which he is charged with killing his wife begins today.

Ted Cruz is taking heat for comparing Liberal Woke-Craziness to the old “Girls Gone Wild” Videos adding that he’s glad we don’t have to see Elizabeth Warren and AOC in bikinis.

- To be fair, at least he didn’t add Nancy Pelosi to that list.

*****

On this day in 1920 the U.S. Post Office announced that children could no longer be sent by parcel post.

- And that Boys and Girls… is how the Stork got involved in delivering babies.

Happy Birthday to Detroit’s own Tim Allen who turns 69 today!
