Thoughts for the day

A nice sunny spring day.

The current Trump vs Musk social media engagement reminds me of ;the adolescent life I saw while teaching. I guess boys will be boys.

My brother and his wife are visiting Chicago. They decided to bring burner phones on this trip. A friend of theirs was held up at a US airport when the agent commented that the friend, an American citizen, had been making a lot of trips between the US and Mexico. It took several hours before he was released. This is becoming more and more unbelievable.

No rain in our forecast, becoming a typical late spring.

Historic Figures who never existed…

King Arthur ©Charles Ernest Butler on Wikimedia

You're likely familiar with the tale of King Arthur, the ruler of Camelot who enlisted the help of a wizard named Merlin and fought alongside the Knights of the Round Table. Though the legend certainly makes for a great tale, King Arthur may have never actually existed. Historians aren't sure whether the epic poems and stories written about him were based on a real person or originated from pure folklore.

Random Thoughts…

A group of Pheasants (at rest) is called a Nest or Nye or Nide. A group of Pheasants (in flight) is called a Bouquet.

J.R.R. Tolkien’s real name was John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, and he was a close friend of C.S. Lewis and W. H. Auden. 

If you do what you love, success is almost guaranteed.
