Thoughts for the day

As expected, the storm has passed; it is a very nice day outside.

In Navajo, February is ‘Atsa’ Biyaazh, which means Baby Eagle. The baby eagles have grown big and noisy.

Trump has offered all Federal Employees the opportunity to resign by Thursday and not work until Sept. but still get paid. IT IS A SCAM.  When you resign you lose all your Federal benefits and retirement money and there is a clause in tiny print that the government can bring you back to work at any time before your resignation day in September.

I did some grocery shopping this morning. I found all the stuff I needed and was in and out in no time.

I’m looking forward to a month long celebration for my birthday month.

Mayan Culture of Mexico and beyond…

Mayans may have had domesticated turkeys.

The all-American meal, the turkey, may have actually started with the Mayan culture, who are thought to have domesticated turkeys. 

While the Maya used turkeys as a food source in their culture, they also used turkey bones and feathers to create things like tools, musical instruments and fans. 

Random Thoughts…

·         In a few billion years Narwhals could evolve into Unicorns.

·         Ettorre’s Observation: The other line moves faster.

·         Eric Clapton – Real Name: Eric Clapp
We should all strive to be the type of person you would want to serve at a restaurant.

·         Being famous on Twitter is like being rich in Monopoly.

·         If there were people who could read minds, they would hear an awful lot of songs, sung with incorrect words, and likely very out of tune or rhythm.

Origin of city nicknames…

Denver, Colorado: ‘Mile High City’

As nicknames go, Mile High City’ must be one of the most literal. With an elevation of 5,280 feet (1,609m) Denver is exactly one mile (1.609km) above sea level, a point officially marked on the steps of the Colorado State Capitol. However, the exact ‘Mile High’ step has changed over the years. In 1909 it was the 15th step, switching to the 18th in 1969, and the 13th in 2003. This is because the standard measurements of orthometric height have changed over the years, although the overall difference is only a few feet.
