Today’s Thoughts
A sunny day…yeah!
Yesterday

33-35. Cards lost to the Giants 31-29.
Tomorrow

is coming up fast.

Unique National Treasures for the US …
Katherine Johnson
A mathematics genius, Katherine Johnson was awarded the Presidential Medal
of Freedom in 2015 at age 97. The longtime NASA researcher and analyst recently
got more recognition when Taraji P. Henson played her (she was the “girl” John Glenn asked to provide calculations for his
Friendship 7 mission) in the movie Hidden Figures.
Random Trivia…
Iceland has the world’s oldest parliament in
history. Called the Althing, it was established in 930 and has stayed as the
acting parliament of Iceland since then.
Alexander the Great named over 70 cities after himself.
Alexander the Great conquered over 2 million square miles of the Earth’s
surface all by the time he was 30 so naming cities after himself was much
deserved.
