Thoughts for the day
A nice warm day.
I headed out to get new windshield
wipers. The original manufacturer ones are 2 years old and not doing a good
job. I was shocked when I found that the 3 wipers cost $74. That seems
outrageous to me. I also discovered that trying to read the chart for the right
size was impossible for me to understand and had to find a clerk to help me.
Roberta Flack gave us great music and
will be missed after losing her battle with ALS at 88.

Nellie Bly
Nellie Bly was a pioneering
investigative journalist known for her daring exposé to the conditions of
mental asylums. By feigning insanity, she gained entry to a facility and
documented the inhumane treatment of patients.
Her tenacious reporting led to
significant reforms and increased public awareness about mental health care.
Bly’s fearless approach to journalism
broke new ground for women in the field. Her legacy as an advocate for social
justice and journalistic excellence continues to inspire future generations.

adult cartoons are the stupid ones.
