Thoughts for the day
I’m
ready for a good Super Bowl. Hope I am not disappointed.
I
sat down this morning and started pulling together my tax info. A task I don’t enjoy.
I’m
getting the 10K maintenance on my vehicle tomorrow. I hope it doesn’t take too
long.
Forgotten American Heros…
Bass
Reeves
Bass
Reeves was one of the first black U.S. Deputy Marshals west of the Mississippi
River. Serving for over three decades, Reeves arrested more than 3,000 felons, showcasing
unmatched dedication and bravery.
Born
into slavery, he escaped during the Civil War and lived among Native Americans,
learning their languages. This experience served him well in his law
enforcement career. His keen detective skills and sharpshooting prowess made
him legendary.
Many
believe his life inspired the iconic character of the Lone Ranger. Reeves’
story is one of resilience and excellence against the odds.
Mayan Culture of Mexico and beyond…
Mayan noblewomen had pointy teeth.
Forget braces. Did you know that the Maya
considered pointy teeth to be beautiful? So much so that they filed their teeth
to come to a point, sometimes in a specific pattern.
The wealthier Maya would bejewel their
teeth with stones like jade or turquoise, which were drilled into holes in
their front teeth.
They believed the Earth was flat.
