Good morning, Whitewater.
Our Wednesday will have a likelihood of thunderstorms and a high of eighty-one.
As it turns out, naked mole rats are hardier than other rodents, and resistant to diseases that afflict other mammals (notably cancer). How is that? Vox explains:
On this day in 1812, America goes to war with Britain:
The day after the Senate followed the House of Representatives in voting to declare war against Great Britain, President James Madison signs the declaration into law–and the War of 1812 begins. The American war declaration, opposed by a sizable minority in Congress, had been called in response to the British economic blockade of France, the induction of American seaman into the British Royal Navy against their will, and the British support of hostile Indian tribes along the Great Lakes frontier. A faction of Congress known as the “War Hawks” had been advocating war with Britain for several years and had not hidden their hopes that a U.S. invasion of Canada might result in significant territorial land gains for the United States.

Playing around will work well for you this week. For each day, we’ll give a three-by-three letter grid in which we’ve hidden the name of a tabletop game. Each has 10 or more letters and any number of words. To find the game, start at any letter and move from letter to letter by traveling to any adjacent letter—across, up and down, or diagonally. You may come back to a letter you’ve used previously, but may not stay in the same spot twice in a row. You will not always need all nine letters in the grid.
