Today’s Thoughts

Getting better every day, had a small fall taking out the trash but I’m fine. Thanks to my neighbor for giving me help in getting up.

I’m a dog lover my entire life. I am disappointed with the Biden household for keeping a dog that has bitten Secret Service Agents at least 12 times. One bite might be excused, two usually requires quarantine and tests. I thought 3 brought in the ASPCA. The only other possibility is that the Agents were taunting the dog…not their job.

While the House is closed for business, they continue to get paid. That should have stopped when Reagan was in power.

Enjoy

Random Trivia…

Spartans were so rich that nobody had to work. Ancient Sparta was an immensely wealthy country. Mainly due to their conquest and domination of their neighbors, the Helots. When a Spartan boy reached adulthood and became a man, the Spartan state awarded him with an allotment of public farmland. They also rewarded him with a constituent of Helot slaves to work it.

Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs used their slaves as flycatchers. They would lather their slaves in honey, which would attract any flies to their slaves rather than themselves, as well as trap and kill the flies.

Historic Events

  • 1691 – The charter for the Province of Massachusetts Bay was issued.
  • 1916 – Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0 in the most lopsided college football game of all time.
