 - National Son’s and Daughter’s Day on August 11th brings parents and their children together for quality time. On this day, be with the joys of your life. Do something special for your children today. If they are at home, go for a walk, or enjoy a local park.

 - Creatures of Habit. A new study finds eight in 10 adults are creatures of habit — eating an identical breakfast every day, sticking to the same style of clothing, and even insisting on using the same mug… Four in ten go to bed at the same time each night and 56 percent sleep on the same side of the mattress every night… Hold up, hold up, HOLD UP! 56 percent sleep on the same side every night? Only 56 percent? Don’t most couples have their “side” of the bed? Remember the guy last year who tweeted: “We were just chatting in work and apparently it’s weird that Amy and I don’t sleep on the same side of the bed every night. Some nights I like to sleep by the window, some nights the door. It’s not really that unusual, is it?” Twitter was SHOCKED. Then the guy explained:

1. First one in chooses

2. We’ve never disagreed over it

3. We move pillows and books as we move

4. We don’t change every single night

5. Neither of us are aliens

 - PJ Ban for home students. Students in an Illinois school district are barred from wearing pajamas while taking online classes, with education officials there saying sleepwear is “not acceptable school apparel.” The Springfield Public Schools Board of Education approved the district’s new student handbook, which included language that applies in-person dress codes to remote instruction. The handbook states online students will “be dressed according to the dress code.” … The dress code reads: “Hats, caps, bandanas, hoods of any type, sweatbands, sunglasses, pajama pants, slippers, or shoes with wheels attached to the bottom shall not be worn in the buildings.” The students are also being told to get out of bed, sit at a table and look directly into the camera during online classes.

 - mask study. Vanderbilt University in Tennessee did a COVID-19 mask study and found counties that require residents to wear face coverings appear to have significantly reduced hospitalizations over the past month, providing at least localized evidence that masks inhibit the coronavirus. Hospitals where at least 75% of patients come from mask-mandate Tennessee counties reported hospitalizations rising by only 30% since July 1. In contrast, hospitals where 25% or fewer patients come from counties with mandates report hospitalizations increasing by more than 200% in the same time period.

 - on this day in 1929: Babe Ruth became the first to hit 500 homers.
