Today’s Thoughts

My allergies continue to be a pain in the …

This morning there were at least 3 short light rain showers.  Looks like they will continue.

I changed linens, cleaned the bathroom, and decided the rest of the day will just be a lazy day. I don’t want to be outside when the rain starts again.

My colleague/friend Mary is down in Phoenix. Her adult son, married with twins in the mid-teens, announced to his mom that he has hit his mid-life crisis. He bought a Tesla. He is still learning how to use it. Mary says the ride is very nice. It can drive itself, it can park itself, and with one command will pull out of a parking space and drive to the driver, stop and pick the driver up. It is an impressive vehicle, and as Mary said, ‘One doesn’t ask the price’.

Enjoy

History revisited

Prisoners Arrived At Auschwitz Days After McDonald's Was Founded

McDonald's restaurant was founded by Richard and Maurice McDonald on May 15, 1940, in San Bernadino, California. While it started off as a regular hamburger stand, the company eventually grew to become one of the largest franchises in the world.

Just days after opening their business, on the other side of the world, far darker things were in the works. Five days later, the first prisoners would arrive at the Auschwitz concentration camp, one of the largest and deadliest sites of the Holocaust.

Historic Events

• 1783 – The Montgolfier brothers publicly demonstrated their montgolfière (hot air balloon).
• 1896 – Henry Ford completed the Ford Quadricycle, his first gasoline-powered automobile.
• 1939 – The MS St. Louis, a ship carrying 963 Jewish refugees, was denied permission to land in the United States.
• 1942 – The Battle of Midway took place June 4-7.
