Today’s Quote

"May peace and plenty be the first
To lift the latch on your door"

Random Tidbits

A complete orbit of the earth around the sun takes exactly 365.2422 days to complete, but the Gregorian calendar uses 365 days. So every four years an extra day is added to make up for the Gregorian calendar's disparity with the solar system.

The Roman calendar used to have 355 days with an extra 22-day month every two years until Julius Caesar became emperor in the 1st Century and ordered his Alexandrian astronomer Sosigenes to devise something better.

My Rambling Thoughts

Nice spring day, good day to be out and about.

Cheryl couldn't make it to town, but is feeling better. Mary and I had lunch, and she gave me my birthday present...2 mason jars filled with dehydrated stuff to make 2 different soups. Very cool. Think I'll have on tomorrow night.

Flag is a small town, but we have our crazies. Three people were arrested for the death of a 6 year old. They had kept him in a closet, with his 8 year old brother, for months. The tiny child died of starvation. The other boy is with social services. The mother, father and paternal grandma are sitting in jail on 1st degree murder charges. So sad.

Ellie called about the Dr. Statement. I hadn't checked my email when she called. I called my doctor and will see him Tuesday morning. Good thing cause I leave early Wednesday morning to get to Denver to be ready for Tahiti. Hopefully this is an overabundance of caution.
