Thoughts for the day
There
are gusty winds as our town awaits a snow storm. The weather guy is predicting up
to 5”.
Former
Gov. Rod Blagojevich, convicted felon for trying to sell Obama’s seanate seat,
to get a pardon from Trump and even maybe Ambassador to Serbia. Kari Lake, of
AZ is now heading Voice of America.
More
about the Super Bowl. It was a good game. I’m happy that the Eagles won. A few commercials
were innovative. I didn’t enjoy or understand the halftime show.
Trump
wants to eliminate the penny. I’m sure business will just round up to the next
nickel. Will they do that for each item or only at the register when the total
is rung up. Let’s see: an item is 76cents. The new price individually would be
80 cents. It corrected at the register you would get two for $1.50 (76 + 76 =
$1.52).I’m sure the business will pick the one that costs the consumer the
most.
Forgotten American Heros…
Robert
Smalls
Robert
Smalls was an enslaved African American who became a naval hero during the
Civil War. He commandeered a Confederate steamer, the CSS Planter, and
delivered it to Union forces, securing freedom for himself and his crew.
His
daring escape demonstrated immense bravery and strategic thinking. Smalls went
on to serve in the Union Navy and later became a U.S. Congressman.
His
life story exemplifies the relentless pursuit of freedom and equality. Smalls'
achievements showcase the impact one individual can have in the fight for
justice and human rights.
Mayan Culture of Mexico and beyond…
The Maya have a sacred tree to this day.
If you've ever traveled to the Caribbean
coast of Mexico, you may have noticed the jungle trees with fierce-looking
spikes on the trunks. This is the ceiba, or ya'axche tree, and is sacred to the
Mayan culture, thought to represent Heaven, Earth and Hell.
It also symbolizes strength, protection,
wealth and beauty — kind of like the Tree of Knowledge.
Random Thoughts…
It’s
amazing to think that humans started off bashing rocks together, and now we
have superconducting magnets cooled to near-absolute-zero smashing rocks
together at close to the speed of light.
