Thoughts for the day
No moisture yesterday. Maybe today?
I have had many a crown…on my teeth. I got one crown today on a front
tooth. Word to the wise: They are very expensive. Somehow my old dentist hadn’t
even seen the cavity. After an hour + of work, he saved the tooth for a mere
$2,200.
I had a nice phone conversation with my buddy Julius, from Tuba City. We caught
up on a lot of the people from our Shonto,Tonalea, and Tuba days. We both agreed
that we are getting older and don’t get as excited about long drives anymore.
Good catchup time.
Ancient Civilizations Few Have Heard Of…
The
Maurya Empire: India ©Dharma from Sadao, Thailand on Wikimedia
Despite
ruling millions and shaping a vast region's future, the Maurya Empire often
fades into the background of global history discussions. Its cities thrived,
its administration rivaled Rome's, and Emperor Ashoka championed peace after
brutal conquest. Still, this civilization remains one the world has quietly
forgotten.
Random Thoughts…
·
The clothing you are wearing right now will look
hilarious to future generations.
·
‘Grease’ may be the word, but it’s never said even once
in the entire film.
·
I wonder how many online contests I’ve won, but deleted
the email saying so because I thought it was spam.
·
If you don’t take a hint and make a move, you’re being
postsumptuous. #newword
Misunderstood History…
The Boston Tea Party Wasn’t About High Taxes ©wikimedia
Most people think the Boston Tea Party was a protest against the
high British taxes. In reality, the Tea Act of 1773 actually lowered the price
of tea.
The real issue? The British East India Company's monopoly on tea sales.
Colonists feared economic control and a loss of local business, not just
taxation. They weren’t mad about paying taxes—they were mad about who was
benefiting from them.
This event was more about corporate power than political rebellion.
Do you remember making May Day baskets and giving them to friends
by ringing the doorbell and leaving before anyone answered?
