Thoughts for the day
A breezy day, but tolerable.
The suspect in the shooting of the
United Health CEO has been arrested in Pennsylvania. Good work by all io
The AZ Cards lost big to the Seahawks.
Tough game.
60 Minutes last night had a great piece on the Asian
Elephants of Thailand. It was very educational.
Now that my computer is working I picked
up a new wireless keyboard and mouse. The old one gave up. The old one was very
cheap, this one is a higher grade. Hope that it has a long life.

Ancient Roman Life
Emperors were fed grapes but at what cost
Roman emperors led lives marked by extravagance, luxury, and
often bizarre behaviors. They rose to power through various means, such as
conquest, political expertise, or military support, and once they were in power,
they generally ruled for life. The emperors had no term limits or retirement
plans, and their tenure often ended with their death, frequently through
assassination or forced suicide.
