Thoughts for the day

Cloudy with a tiny bit of snow and a lot of wind. No snow is expected to accumulate.

Trump’s DOGE has eliminated references to the Navajo Code Talkers on numerous military sites run by the government. They claim it is DEI. The Code Talkers were hidden from the US citizens for decades after the war. Now we know and will not forget their sacrifice. DOGE must end.

 

Symbols of USA and their hidden meaaning…

The Cherry Blossom

The cherry blossom, a gift from Japan, symbolizes friendship and peace. The annual Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C., celebrates this bond and represents the beauty of cultural exchange.

The fleeting nature of the blossoms serves as a reminder to cherish moments of beauty and connection in life. These delicate flowers embody the spirit of harmony and cooperation between nations.

The cherry blossom's brief bloom is a metaphor for the transient nature of life and the importance of appreciating the present. It stands as a symbol of the enduring friendship between the United States and Japan.

Random Thoughts…

§  The closest most of us will ever get to walking away with our backs to an explosion is turning away from a bowling ball before it reaches the end of the lane.

§  Alfred Hitchcock chose to not conclude the film ‘The Birds’ with the usual “THE END” title because he wanted to leave the audience on edge.

§  The reason we say “mum’s the word” is because “mum” is a slang version of the 14th-century word “momme” which means “be silent” or “do not reveal”.

§  Twelve is the largest number you can say with just one syllable.

§  The reason almost no nation has purple on their flag is that purple dye was prohibitively expensive up until the late 19th century.

§  The world uses a base ten counting system because we have ten fingers.
