Yesterday (Sunday) was the final day of the annual Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain, for this year. Sunday, the bulls from the Miura ranch were back --they are the bulls that have taken part in the most runs. And they had the second highest total of people getting gored this year.

FYI and disclaimer: Thanks to BILL ZIMPFER for the use of the term, "Goreboard" (trademark pending).In case you were wondering, the Full Buck Moon happens tomorrow... July 16. It's also been called the Thunder moon (American Indian --from fierce storms common at this time), and Full Hay Moon as well.
Superhero weekend: Yes, Sony's "Spider-Man: Far from Home" topped the weekend box office charts with "Toy Story 4" in second place, while becoming the fifth largest Pixar domestic release ever. "Crawl" finished in third and "Stuber" was fourth.
BOB DYLAN and NEIL YOUNG did a show together at Kilkenny, Ireland's Nowlan Park Sunday evening and wrapped things up by performing "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." Neil has already posted a segment of the song on his Instagram page.
Fast food update: Beginning today (Mon, Jul 15), Krispy Kreme Donuts start celebrating their 82nd birthday with a brand new, Original Filled Birthday Batter Doughnut. You can probably imagine it --a donut made with birthday cake batter, dipped in strawberry icing and topped with party sprinkles. It'll be available for one week only... and if you wanna wait till Friday, they'll be handing out a dozen of their original glazed donuts for just a dollar at participating stores.
