Today’s Thoughts
Another hot dry day. Several small fires
within Flagstaff area. One is on Mar’s Hill, home of Lowell Observatory…where
Pluto was discovered.
A
nice lunch with Mary, Mike, Faith, and Andy. Faith is doing well and now just
slow in walking. Mary and Mike leave for Oregon in 15 days. All is going well.
Shared some great stories about culture while we were teaching on the Rez. Times
when as teachers, we learned about the culture by upsetting some parents. They are
funny now, but at the time not so much.
Enjoy`

1954, Israeli agents planted bombs in US and UK targets in Egypt to frame
Muslim Brotherhood militants and damage US-Egyptian relations. The operation
became known as the Lavon affair after the Israeli defense minister, Pinhas
Lavon, who was forced to resign.
