Thoughts for the day
Another chilly day, this time with a
breeze.
I’m enjoying a quiet week with no
medical appointments or other distractions.
I txted my brother to see how things
are going. All good. Just after Thanksgiving Laura is having a stupendous
birthday celebration in Merida. Very fancy with costumes, masks, a decorated
train car and lots of music. Should be amazing.
Politically, I’m just sitting back and
watching. Trump has always been boisterous, and seldom has followed through. So
the waiting game continues.
Myths
Myth #24: Cell Production Stops As You Age
Ever find yourself trapped in the same old routines,
wondering if your brain has simply thrown in the towel on growth? Well, it’s
high time to cast aside that misconception—the one that suggests your brain cells
retire early and settle into a life of stagnation.
In reality, think of them as intrepid explorers, forever
blazing new trails and forging fresh neural connections, regardless of your
age. Incredible autopsies have unveiled a remarkable truth: the brains of
79-year-olds were teeming with vibrant, new cells.

A NASCAR driver maintains the same heart rate – 120 to 150

minutes.
The tool used to cut diamonds, a scaif, was invented in the
1400s and uses olive oil and diamond dust to uniformly polish and cut diamonds.
It is still in use today.
Ancient Roman Life
Men had all the power while women had none in Rome
Do you want to see how Rome’s family hierarchy worked? It
appears that men possessed all power, while women had no. Men could arrange
marriages, divorce their wives, and reject newborns if necessary.
Women were also expected to marry men and have kids. If they
didn’t, they were accused of being the problem. They also had to look after the
house and work as servers, nurses, or crafters. They did not get a first name
and instead used the feminine interpretation of their fathers’ names.
