Thoughts for the day
It was a cold night but now a nice
day.
Yesterday I had an issue with my bank,
Chase, regarding a compromised credit card number. This morning, I met with my
personal banker and now all is good.
During the hearings today, it became
clear that RFK, Jr. has few ideas of his own but will follow Trump on everything.
That is scary.
In his executive order on birthright citizenship,
he referenced the 1884 Elk v Wilkins supreme court decision that also stated
that Indians were not citizens. That has upset the tribal leaders around the
country.
Mayan Culture of Mexico and beyond…
They were devoted to
extreme sports.
One of the most
significant aspects of Mayan culture is its ball game, pitz. The game held
important significance both politically and spiritually. Ballcourts are often
important parts of Mayan archaeological sites, particularly in cities like
Chichen Itza.
The purpose of the game
is to pass a rubber ball through a very high stone hoop without using their
hands. But more than just for sport, the game had serious consequences. A loss
sometimes resulted in human sacrifice.m

Origin of city nicknames…
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: ‘Steel
City’
Originally known for its iron
foundries and coal mines, Pittsburgh underwent a significant transformation in
1875 when Andrew Carnegie established the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, which
later became part of Carnegie Steel Company. This development marked the city's
rise as a leading industrial powerhouse, eventually making Pittsburgh a global
center of steel production. Although the city's steel output peaked in the
early 20th century and began to decline in the 1970s, with much of the industry
disappearing by the 1980s, Pittsburgh remains affectionately known as 'Steel
City'. The Fort Wayne Railroad Bridge, among other landmarks, stands as a
lasting symbol of this rich industrial heritage.
