Thoughts for the day
The nearby controlled burn has my area
very smoky. Not a day to be outside.
Dear President Trump: the only state
that can grow coffee beans in Hawaii. They supply 1% of the US coffee consumption.
Your unfounded tariffs will raise the price of coffee in the US greatly.
When PA Gov Shapiro’s house was set
afire is when I leaned that there are no punishments on the Federal books for
Domestic Terrorism.
Sec of Defense Hegseth ordered 400
books removed from the Naval Academy for DEI. This included Maya Angelo’s I
know why the caged bird sings. Allowed to remain on the shelves include Mein
Kampf and The Bell Curve.
Yesterday there were at least 5 fires
along I-40 near the casino and about 20 miles east of Flagstaff. The fire dept
had to fill 3 tender tankers at the casino to put out the fires. How did the fires
start?…they believe it was a loose chain hitting the pavement from a vehicle.
Fortunately, all the fires were less than an acre and no structures were
damaged.

Called the "Mother
Culture" of Mesoamerica, the Olmecs created monumental stone heads, some

Their advanced art and innovations had a lasting impact on future civilizations
like the Maya and Aztecs.

Taught in High School but not true…
There are only three states of
matter ©Photo Credit: historiasperiodicas/Shutterstock
We were all taught about the
most common forms of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. But did you know there
are four more? Plasma, Bose-Einstein condensate, quark-gluon plasma, and
degenerate matter are lesser known but just as important. The most important
thing to know is that cats are liquid (for those reading, this is a joke; don’t
liquify your cat).
