Today’s Thoughts

 Nice Spring Day.

Still recovering, getting better every day. I’m still staying away from people as I don’t want anyone else to get this.

The second indictment is history. Yet the News Channels seem that the best way to educate the American population is to re-hash all the events of yesterday, dissect every moment, and keep discussing yesterday. Sad commentary on our country.

Enjoy

History revisited

George Washington Never Knew Dinosaurs Existed

Often referred to as the "Father of the United States" by citizens of the country, George Washington was quite accomplished. A farmer, general, statesman, and the first President of the United States, Washington was a learned man, except that he was completely unaware of a major part of the world's history.

Like everyone else at the time, he had no clue that dinosaurs existed. They weren't scientifically recognized until 1824 when British naturalist William Buckland first wrote the first full account of a fossil dinosaur, which he named Megalosaurus.

Historic Events

• 1520 – Pope Leo X threatened to excommunicate Martin Luther in Exsurge Domine.
• 1667 – The first human blood transfusion was administered by Dr. Jean-Baptiste Denys.
• 1936 – Arkansas is admitted as the 25th US state.
• 1934 – The Great Smoky Mountains National Park was founded.
