Thoughts
for the day
President Biden gave what should
become his most historic speech today. He apologized for the treatment of
Native Americans between 1876-1969. Thankfully my career began in 1971, and I
was part of the necessary changes.
I have a blood appointment at 2:15
today. Last night, @ 7:15pm I got an auto-text reminding me that I had that
appointment at 8:00. No one to call so I was at the office at 7:45. The office
lady checked and could not explain the text and said she would check up to see
what happened. My roundtrip through morning traffic was a waste of time. Oh,
well. Machines should not rule our lives.
I have reading to do for my
presentation on ‘Invisible Indonesia’. Should be fun tomorrow.

Myth #4: Piranhas Will Attack
Humans
Thanks to the silver screen,
these Amazonian underwater dwellers have been painted as bloodthirsty monsters.
But here’s the intriguing twist: piranhas are surprisingly bashful and prudent,
often leaning towards scavenging rather than actively pursuing a taste for
human flesh.
They much prefer nibbling on
smaller fish or indulging in the occasional carrion feast. In fact, there’s not
a single documented case of piranhas targeting and killing a human! With teeth
that could easily slice through flesh, it’s theoretically possible for them to
cause harm, but it’s about as likely as stumbling upon a unicorn during your
Amazon adventure.
Native
American Facts…
Native American Tribes Have a
Rich Tradition of Storytelling
Storytelling has been an
integral part of Native American cultures for thousands of years. These oral
traditions serve to pass down knowledge, history, and values from one
generation to the next. Many Native American stories are rich with symbolism,
humor, and life lessons.
Some well-known Native
American stories include the Iroquois creation story of Sky Woman, the Navajo
tale of the Hero Twins, and the Lakota legend of White Buffalo Calf Woman.
These stories not only entertain but also provide insight into the worldviews and
beliefs of indigenous peoples.
Today, Native American
storytellers continue to keep these traditions alive, sharing their stories
with new generations and audiences.
