Thoughts for the day
Yesterday was a busy day. All good! I didn’t have time to do a posting.
It is so hard to watch Trump while he cozies up to foreign leaders who
have done such horrific things to the USA and it’s citizens. I wonder what will
happen when he learns that he is not, nor has he ever been the center of the
universe.
One of the first Christmas’ I did in Mexico we all went to midnight mass.
This is a very small and poor town. We went to mass, followed the statues out
of the church and watched them meander though the town. Then we went to the next
festivities, that included small sandwiches and young kids breaking piñatas. We
were also offered sandwiches. It was way
after midnight, but decided it would be in poor taste not to accept them. So we
took them. I remember this at this time because when one is in a foreign
country and are offered a gift, you accept it. If you are a government
official, both countries have protocol. They are not giving Trump these gifts
because he is Trump, they are giving these gifts to the people of the US
through our leader. Trump doesnt’ get
the last part of that.
Native American Tribes That Dominated History
Blackfoot (Niitsitapi) © native_americans__
The Blackfoot, or Niitsitapi, dominated the Northern Great
Plains, excelling in buffalo hunting and territorial control. Comprising
several bands, they were known for their fierce independence and warrior
culture.
The Blackfoot's society centered around kinship and
community, which provided cohesion and strength. Their strategic alliances and
rivalries with neighboring tribes influenced regional dynamics.
The Blackfoot's skill in hunting buffalo was not only a means
of subsistence but also a cornerstone of their cultural identity. Their legacy
continues as they preserve their traditions and share their rich history with
future generations.

Misunderstood History…
The 1929 Stock Market Crash Didn’t Cause Suicides ©wikimedia
Newspapers spread stories of bankers jumping from windows
after the crash. But only two confirmed suicides were linked to it.
The myth was exaggerated to make the crisis seem more dramatic. Most financial
losses were gradual, not instant.
