Thoughts for the day

Another day of clouds and rain. Nice.

All this rain in June is unusual, but very much appreciated.

Musk has been trashing the ‘big, beautiful bill’ and Trump has been silent about that for several days.  I wonder why.

I can’t decide if it’s cooler to light a stick of dynamite with a cigar or to light a cigar off a lit dynamite fuse.

Unknown Civilizations that once ruled the world…

Nok Culture© National Geographic Education - National Geographic Society

The Nok Culture, thriving from 1000 BCE to 300 CE in modern Nigeria, is known for its remarkable terracotta sculptures. These artifacts, with detailed human and animal figures, highlight Nok's artistic sophistication.

Nok society pioneered iron smelting, marking a significant technological advancement. This innovation influenced subsequent West African cultures, contributing to regional development.

Little is known about their social structure, but their artistic and metallurgical achievements remain pivotal. Archaeological discoveries continue to unveil the extent of Nok's influence, revealing a rich cultural heritage that shaped early African societies.
