Today’s Thoughts

First day of summer looking good.

Yesterday I needed a scan. I was told to be there at 1:00 for a 1:30 appointment. I wasn’t seen until 2:00 and then had to wait another hour for the dye to work. I didn’t get out until 4:15. I had told them I needed an ultra-sound for the dye. The guy came in, told me that everyone who came in wanted an ultra-sound, but he didn’t need it. He was really snaky. He said it would be at least another hour for an ultra-sound. I let him go ahead. He couldn’t find a vein in my arm, but said he found one in my hand. He injected the dye. When I was leaving I noticed that I still had a big bump. He said it would go away by morning. His skill was a ‘7’ out of ten. His personality was a ‘-5” out of 10. I didn’t get home until almost 5p.

I’m not a big golf fan but I did hope that Rickie Fowler, a Navajo would win as he was at -10 on the final day. He didn’t win and ended up -5 at the end.

We are still in having a Red-Flag warning today. Over the weekend there were 4 small forest fires within the city limits, all caused by transients. Also over the weekend, a tourist fell from the Grand Canyon Skywalk. He fell 4000’ to his death.

It is not looking very hopeful for the 5 on the submersible that was exploring the Titanic. Each tourist had paid ¼ million dollars for the planned 3 hour view.

Enjoy

 

History revisited

The government created a relocation program that forced Native Americans out of their home.

Not all (if any) Native Americans moved to urban areas by choice. The Indian Relocation Act of 195, which dissolved federal recognition of most tribes and ended federal funding for reservations, made it difficult for families to stay on land that was rightfully theirs, according to the Atlantic.
