Thoughts for the day

Another nice winter day. Thanks to everyone who remembered my birthday. It was a good day.

The Friday press conference between Zelensky and Trump and Vance sure took a turn that no one wanted or need to see. This should never happen with cameras running. There will be difficult days ahead for Ukraine, and the US.

I did observe the Feb 28 economic blackout day. Basically not buying from large corporations. I’m not sure if it did any good.

Forgotten American Heros…

John Lewis

John Lewis was a prominent civil rights leader and advocate for racial equality. As a young activist, he was a key figure in the civil rights movement of the 1960s, participating in crucial events like the Selma to Montgomery marches.

His dedication to nonviolent protest and social justice was unwavering.

Lewis later served as a U.S. Congressman, continuing his fight for equality and human rights. His legacy as a champion for civil rights and his lifelong commitment to justice continue to inspire generations.

Common Misconceptions…

“The reason people didn’t smile in old photos is because early photography was inspired by painting, where smiling was seen as inappropriate while stern looks appeared more formal for portraits.”

Random Thoughts…

Any opposite sides on a die are equal to 7. 1/6, 2/5, 3/4.

John D. Rockefeller was worth a modern equivalent of $336 billion.

The Atlantic Ocean is named after Atlas, the Greek Titan who carried the world on his shoulders.

The biggest film of 1972: The Godfather (Drama) earned ~ $135,000,000

Sarah Bernhardt – Real Name: Rosine Bernard

Apple brags about releasing “their most advanced iPhone yet” every year as if they had any other option but to release something better than the previous model.

 

The highest point on the moon is 6,358 feet higher (1938 meters) than Mount Everest.

Shelley Winters – Real Name: Shirley Schrift
