The rapid release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, happening today, appears to have happened in the past, too.

In the past there was no such thing as an appliance repair that cost more than $400, but today, $1,000 repairs are not uncommon.

If you think that the past is better than today just remember, it's that past that brought you here.

We took a big step tonight. The past couple years this has been the end point of our season. Today, we got over that hump.

We won today because everyone took their job seriously. We've been finishing second for the past five years. To get over the hump means a lot.

They let their nerves get the best of them a little bit. Hopefully they can get past that for (today).
