Thoughts for the day
Crazy weather day. It’s been sun…snow…sun…snow…sun
all day. Nothing sticking yet but should be about 1” today if the weather guy
is right.
Eagles v Chiefs is the super bowl. Will
there be the first three peat for the NFL?
Our discussion group has a good
calendar to work from. There is one member, a people-pleaser who really
controls the group. She moved our meetings to the afternoon and added a dinner
meal at a local restaurant after our meetings. This time she suggested My Pie,
a local pizza place. She said how much she likes it, but one member found the
pizza not that good. Before we ended up picking a burger place this lady mentioned
that the last time she was there she remembered the pizza was not that good.
She is a nice lady, but her people-pleasing can get tedious.
During my time with the government, I
had a few occasions to work with the IG staff of the Bureau. The Inspector General’s
deals with big legal matters. Trump’s firing of over a dozen IG’s may surpass
his power and may not have the affect he expects.
I saw this rather frightening stat
yesterday…46% of today’s American can not name even one of the German Concentration
Camps of WWII.
Mayan Culture of Mexico and beyond…
Maya loved to sweat it
out.
The Maya were known for
their sweat lodges that were built out of stone or adobe. These lodges were
integral to their ritual cleansing and healthcare.
Archaeologists have found
evidence of sweat houses at important sites like Tikal in Guatemala and Joya de
Cerén in El Salvador. One of the earliest sweat lodges to be discovered was
found at Cuello in Northern Belize and dates back 3,000 years.
Random Thoughts…
Mary Pickford – Real Name: Gladys Mary Smith
The entire 150,000+
moose population of the island of Newfoundland is
descendant from just four moose released a little over 100 years ago.
“All-human staff” will eventually become a selling point for restaurants, like
“free-range” or “fair trade”.
A group of Bacteria is called a Culture.
The earth is 24,901
miles in circumference across its diameter.
Origin of city nicknames…
Seattle, Washington: ‘Emerald
City’
No, it has nothing to do
with The Wizard of Oz. Seattle gets its nickname from the
year-round abundance of evergreen trees, shrubs and moss that give the city its
distinctive charm. With more than four million trees, over a quarter of
the city is always shaded by foliage. The moniker is fairly recent, the result
of a competition in 1982 which challenged the public to come up with a suitable
nickname for the city. The winning entry described it as 'the jewel of the
Northwest', and the name was quickly adopted by the city.
