Today’s Thoughts
Getting
better every day, had a small fall taking out the trash but I’m fine. Thanks to
my neighbor for giving me help in getting up.
I’m
a dog lover my entire life. I am disappointed with the Biden household for keeping
a dog that has bitten Secret Service Agents at least 12 times. One bite might
be excused, two usually requires quarantine and tests. I thought 3 brought in
the ASPCA. The only other possibility is that the Agents were taunting the dog…not
their job.
While
the House is closed for business, they continue to get paid. That should have
stopped when Reagan was in power.

Random Trivia…
Spartans were so rich that nobody had to
work. Ancient Sparta was an immensely wealthy country. Mainly due to their
conquest and domination of their neighbors, the Helots. When a Spartan boy
reached adulthood and became a man, the Spartan state awarded him with an
allotment of public farmland. They also rewarded him with a constituent of
Helot slaves to work it.
Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs
used their slaves as flycatchers. They would lather their slaves in honey,
which would attract any flies to their slaves rather than themselves, as well
as trap and kill the flies.
