Thoughts for the day

It’s a windy day that may bring some rain or snow. I’ll wait to see.

I’m doing laundry today. Not my favorite activity.

World leaders seem to accept the new American foreign policy with the hope that it will change back soon. Many are meeting at various locations to prepare for the worst.

I talked to my brother on my birthday. He was very congested and set to see a doctor later that day. I’ll check in tomorrow to see how he is doing.

 

Forgotten American Heros…

Ernie Pyle

Ernie Pyle was a Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent during World War II. His vivid and compassionate reporting from the front lines brought the realities of war to the American public.

Pyle's ability to capture the human side of conflict endeared him to readers across the nation.

His untimely death in 1945 while covering the Pacific theater marked the loss of a beloved journalist. Pyle’s legacy highlights the vital role of war correspondents and the importance of storytelling in times of conflict.

Common Misconceptions…

“Nero's reputation of indifference to the people ('fiddling while Rome burned'). He was actually 30 miles away when it happened, the fiddle (and lyre, the instrument originally associated with this story) didn't exist in Rome at the time, and when he found out about the fire he immediately rushed back and personally led rescue efforts. He was also very popular among the lower classes. He did enact some pretty sweeping building/urban planning rules, including building a giant pleasure palace for himself over the burned ruins, after the fire … He's just a guy who liked to party who was unlucky enough to be in charge during a catastrophe, and whose enemies wrote his story.

Random Thoughts…

Disney World in Orlando is roughly the size of San Francisco.

Mark Twain – Real Name: Samuel Langhorne Clemens

I’m glad Dr. Pepper went to med school instead of law school because I wouldn’t want to drink something called Jeffrey E. Pepper, Esq.
