Today’s Thoughts

Nice warm spring day.

I decided to visit the Dr. about my allergies…too many days of a runny nose. Hopefully the Dr. can fix whatever it is.

Over the weekend, at least 6 rental houseboats caught fire at Wahweap Marina, Lake Powell, AZ. No cause yet. Strange for sure.

A dam collapsed in Ukraine. Russia says Ukraine did it, Ukraine said Russia did it. It puts lots of people in danger from flooding and the water from the lake is used in cooling a nuclear plant. Thousands have been evacuated.

Enjoy

History revisited

The Stegasaurus Is Ancient Compared To T. Rex

Although they were both dinosaurs, the Stegosaurus is ancient in comparison to the Tyrannosaurs rex, by millions of years. The Stegosaurus roamed the Earth during the late Jurassic Period, which was around 156 million and 144 million years ago.

The Tyrannosaurus rex, on the other hand, lived during the Cretaceous period, around 67 to 65 million years ago. So, technically, the T. rex actually lived closer in time to humans than it did to the Stegosaurus.

Historic Events

• 1776 – Richard Henry Lee presented the “Lee Resolution” to the Continental Congress.
• 1862 – The United States and the United Kingdom agreed in the Lyons-Seward Treaty to suppress the African slave trade.
• 1914 – The Alliance was the first vessel to pass through the Panama Canal.
