This is the third day in a row that the global mean has been over 4.5.
According to my records, that has never happened before.
Though I've only kept records of such things since game 564.

Sorry to laugh, but that sounds very much like one of the very few songs by the Grateful Dead that I like. (Mainly because it seemed autobiographical: My life has been a long strange trip.)
