Today’s Thoughts

 Warm day. Nice!

I got my flu shot this morning and get the new COVID on Thursday. Finally got my Boarding pass for our cruise in Canada. Getting ready for sure.

After negotiations, 5 Americans were released from Iran. The US had to unfreeze lots of cash and free Iranians.  The Americans are back on American soil, however; 2 of the Iranians don’t want to return to Iran…the others are still thinking about staying here. A tad ironic.

In 1971  I started working for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. A 35-year career. Nice.

This is also the day my father passed at 80 in 1994.He is still missed.

Enjoy

Unique National Treasures for the US …

ATD
Known as the King of Pop Culture, Doug is not your average pooch. He’s a New York Times best-selling author (with “momager” Leslie Mosier) and social media star whose millions of adoring fans follow his pizza-eating, world-traveling adventures on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat. When he’s not chowing down, Doug makes appearances on the Today show, Billboard’s Hot 100 Festival and the CMT Music Awards. And Doug leaves celebs starstruck too—he’s taken selfies with everyone from Justin Bieber to the cast of The Big Bang Theory—but he still loves a good nap more than anything.

Random Trivia…

Cleopatra was the first member of her dynasty to speak Ancient Egyptian. She was also able to speak 8 other languages, including Ancient Greek, Ancient Iranian, Ancient Parthian, Syriac, Ethiopian, Troglodytae, Hebrew and Arabic.

America’s National School Lunch Program of 1946 was due to WWII. This is due to the fact that the government realized by giving the children free meals, they would have a healthier draft pool if they ever needed it again.

Historic Events

  • 1946 – The first Cannes Film Festival was held, having been delayed seven years due to World War II.
