Today’s Thoughts
Another chilly morning. Fall
has arrived.
I had my first PT appointment
today. It was great. I learned a lot and have several stretching exercises before
my next session on Friday. She believes my issue has to do with tight muscles in
that leg…especially the hamstring. Good news.
Just a word to the wise: The
new Speaker of the House in DC was a leader in the ‘Stop the Steal’ movement in
the House. Let’s see if he has changed.
I had my wellness check for Medicare…even
with all my issues in the last few months I id well on the check. Seems like
every year there are more and more questions about how I am doing. I’m still
very positive for sure.
New winter parking
restrictions go into effect here: No street parking midnight to 7am, even if
there is no snow. It doesn’t end until Apr. 1. Not sure what the towing fee is.
Game 3 of World Series was 3-1
Rangers over the Dbacks. Series is now 2-1 Rangers.
A local pond that was named
for a conservationist suffered greatly from runoff, killing most of the fish a
year ago. The good new is that they have completed the clean-up and prevention
that this will happen again will begin today and should be completed by Nov. 7.

Facts that seem made
up Trivia…
Queen
Elizabeth II reigned for almost 30 percent of US history
Despite all of the
incredible accomplishments the US has made on the global stage, in
the grand scheme of things, the United States is a pretty young country. The
Declaration of Independence was only signed in 1776, meaning that the country
has existed for less than 250 years.
Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the
throne on February 6, 1952, when she was just 25 years old. She ruled for 70
years until her death on September 8, 2022. If we count 2022 in the
equation, Queen Elizabeth II reigned for over 28
percent of America's history!

The wayfarer,
Perceiving the pathway to
truth,
Was struck with astonishment.
It was thickly grown with
weeds.
“Ha,” he said,
“I see that none has passed
here
In a long time.”
Later he saw that each weed
Was a singular knife.
“Well,” he mumbled at last,
“Doubtless there are other
roads.”
– Stephen Crane
