Today’s Quote
Thoughts for the day
I’m still adjusting to the very cool morning
temps. Weather guy says there will be snow here on Sunday. I missed the first
snow while I was basking in the heat at the hacienda. Guess I’m ready for this one.
While I was watching TV last night,
there were Christmas ads. Halloween was still happening. This is little more
than corporate greed, I’m not a fan.
Trump is suing CBS and 60 Minutes for $10billion. He is upset over the Harris interview ran on 60 Minutes. Crazy
Ancient Roman Life
Being a chariot racer could earn
someone big bucks
Did you know that most chariot racers
were slaves? They didn’t want to quit the sport, however. It was actually the
exact opposite. Each racer would receive a share of winnings if they were part
of the victorious team. But that wasn’t all. It turned out that chariot racing
betting was also very popular in Rome.
Racers would often place bets and walk
away with big bucks at the end. What’s the twist? The best teams, the red and
white ones, were the most successful and, therefore, could afford the best
drivers.
