Today’s Thoughts

 A sunny day…yeah!

Yesterday was not a good one for the Broncos or the Cards. Broncos lost to the Commadores 33-35. Cards lost to the Giants 31-29.

Tomorrow is my followup to my Covid Toe. Hope everything is a go as my Canadian Cruise is coming up fast.

Enjoy

 

Unique National Treasures for the US …

Katherine Johnson

A mathematics genius, Katherine Johnson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015 at age 97. The longtime NASA researcher and analyst recently got more recognition when Taraji P. Henson played her (she was the “girl” John Glenn asked to provide calculations for his Friendship 7 mission) in the movie Hidden Figures.

Random Trivia…

Iceland has the world’s oldest parliament in history. Called the Althing, it was established in 930 and has stayed as the acting parliament of Iceland since then.

Alexander the Great named over 70 cities after himself. Alexander the Great conquered over 2 million square miles of the Earth’s surface all by the time he was 30 so naming cities after himself was much deserved.

Historic Events

  • 1778 – The Continental Congress passed the first United States federal budget.
  • 1881 – President James A. Garfield died of wounds suffered in a July 2 shooting.
  • 1970 – The first Glastonbury Festival took place.
  • September 19, 1979 Birthday (fictional) Hermoine Granger, Harry Potter
  • 1991 – Ötzi the Iceman was discovered in the Alps on the border between Italy and Austria.
