Today’s Thoughts
Another very nice fall day.
For as long as I can remember,
on the first Saturday after the season changes, I flip my mattress. I finally
was able to do it today as I couldn’t stand long enough to do it on time. Feels
good to get it finally be able to do it.
As of Friday, there were only
9 working days in Congress until a government shutdown. During all the previous
shutdowns, Federal employees, considered non-essential, are sent home.
Non-essential at both BIA and Oversees American Schools, those for embassy and
military dependents, are sent home and students in dorms are sent home. Then
after a day or two everyone is back at work, life goes on. All are paid as if
it never happened. As everyone knows
this is not a normal time. A lengthy shutdown would hurt all Americans, but the
crazies in the House don’t seem to care…after all they get paid anyway.
Enjoy
Halloween
information… Trivia…
In terms of spending on
Halloween items, Americans spent the most on costumes in 2021,
followed by candy (both categories were around $3 billion.
Random Trivia…
Ancient Celts across what is now the UK, Ireland and northern
France marked the day with bonfires and donned costumes to ward off ghosts of
the dead, which they believed returned to Earth on that day.By the 11th
century, as Christianity spread over Celtic territory, the Roman Empire had
established November 1 as All Saint’s
Day, likely in an attempt to replace the older Celtic holiday with a Christian
one, according to History. The night before All Saint’s Day came to be known as
All-hallowmas, then All Hallows Eve, and eventually Halloween.
