Thoughts for the day
I got my quarterly shot to stop prostate
cancer. All good.
The blue sky and lack of wind make it
a great day.
FDR was the first to mark ‘the first
100 days’ for Presidents. He did it to
get a jump on his New Deal Plan. Today marks Trump’s first 100 days. In that time,
he has really shaken up the country. Biden signed 160 in his 4 years as President.
Trump has signed 137 so far and there is little end in sight. Trump’s approval
ratings of every thing he has done continue to fall.

The Parthians ruled ancient
Iran from 247 BCE to 224 CE, standing in the way of Roman expansion. They were
masters of cavalry, using hit-and-run tactics to battle the Romans. Lastly,
their empire was an important cultural and military force that often goes
unnoticed in history.
Random Thoughts…
When I trip and fall on the ground,
I’m crashing into a PLANET. The fact that I can survive with just some scrapes
basically makes me a superhero.
The Scary Statistic: Cancer odds: 1-in-7
The Nile is the only river
that flows north
Rivers follow gravity and flow
downhill, not their compass. The Lena River in Russia, the St. Johns River in Florida,
and the Red River that flows between the U.S. and Canada are all rivers that
flow downhill in a northern trajectory.
