Today’s Thoughts

 My vehicle was covered with golden pollen again this morning. Still having a runny nose and sinus drainage. Not fun.

About 8:30 this morning a group from some roofing company arrived and moved all the pine needles from the gutters. It looked like they were also checking the roofs for damage. Happy to have clean gutters.

I read an article that Rosalyn Carter, 95-years-old, has developed dementia and still helps out with care for her 98-year-old husband, Jimmy Carter. A sad ending for such a nice couple.

Enjoy

 

History revisited…

Nintendo Was Founded When Jack The Ripper Was Still On The Loose

To many, Nintendo is a modern video game company that brought us classics like Mario, Zelda, and the impressive Nintendo Switch, but that's not what it started as.

Initially, Nintendo made playing cards for a game called hanafuda. The company was founded back in 1889, a time when the notorious Jack the Ripper was still wreaking havoc in London. Today, the identity of the serial killer remains unknown, with the remains of the victim known as "The Pinchin Steet Torso" being discovered just weeks after Nintendo opened its doors.

Historic Events

• 1792 – Kentucky became the 15th US state.
• 1796 – Tennessee became the 16th US state.
• 1812 – US President James Madison asked Congress to declare war on the United Kingdom, starting the War of 1812.
• 1938 – Superman debuted in Action Comics #1
• 2009 – General Motors filed for bankruptcy
