It is now officially light jacket in

I got my shot this morning…all good.
On Sunday the Cardinals beat the
Dolphins in a nail biter. The Broncos beat the Panthers. A good Sunday.
Donald was late to his Madison Square
Garden rally. While everyone waited, the speakers sure put forth a very serious
view of America. One called Kamala a prostitute, another said that Puerto Rico
was a floating garbage island…even though Puerto Rico is part of the US and
their citizens can and do vote. Remember Trump tossed paper towels after a
hurricane. Trump did not apologize for any of the comments made by previous
speakers. His campaign is trying, unsuccessfully, to step it all back. This rally
alone proves to me that Trump is not fit to be President of this country.

Ancient
Roman Life
In ancient Rome, penalties for
theft were severe and scaled to the item’s worth. Minor thefts might incur
fines, but as the value rose, so did the punishment’s intensity—from beatings
to the dread of death for high-value thefts. Such stringent measures stemmed
from Rome’s struggle with pervasive thievery, necessitating a rigid legal
system to ensure societal order.
Crucifixion, the most feared sanction, was reserved for grave
transgressions. This brutal method of public execution served as a deterrent,
exemplifying the Romans’ commitment to protecting property and maintaining
public order through a regime of fear.
