Thoughts
for the day
A
nice winter day. A little concerned because
some trees are starting to bud and that is way too early. I saw this on the
internet machine: SNOW is an acronym for Something no one wants. Not true
in the high desert.
I
had lunch with Andy and Faith. Good food and great conversation. We all agreed
that we are glad to be Federal retirees. Our conclusion was Don’t throw the
baby out with the bath water.
The
current Tuba staff all got letters about deterred resignation, just like
millions of other Federal employees. I can’t help but wonder if Sec. of
Homeland Christie Noem is interested the Indian issues, since, while she was
governor of SD she was banned from all Tribal land there during her tenure.
Mayan
Culture of Mexico and beyond…
The Maya believed humans originated from
clay.
According to Maya tradition, the Earth
was first created, and then humans were constructed from wet clay.
Like other ancient stories, the Maya tell
the tale of a great flood that wiped all but a few humans off the Earth, which
was the gods' attempt to start over in creating the perfect human.

“Penny” Commissiong was the first black woman to hold the Miss Universe title.
She won the title in 1977 at the Miss Universe pageant, which was
held in the Dominican Republic.
Just
once before I die, I want to know what it feels like to steal a freshly baked
pie from someone’s windowsill.
Wall
Street is called Wall Street because the settlers erected an actual wall to
defend against Native Americans.

Origin of
city nicknames…
Little Rock, Arkansas: ‘The Rock’
Little Rock gained its official name from
a nearby rock formation that a French explorer reputedly named La Petite
Roche back in 1722. Despite these rugged origins, Little Rock’s official
nickname during the 19th century and first half of the 20th century was ‘The
City of Roses’ thanks to a long tradition of civic gardening. In 2006, a
local radio personality floated the idea of establishing a more
contemporary nickname. Contenders included Rock City, Rocktown, and Southern
Comfort but The Rock – simple and to the point – proved to be the
forerunner as it was already being used by many residents.
