Thoughts for the day
It’s a nice spring day with only a slight wind.
I took a nice walk through the neighborhood. Then tried to pick up some
meds but the Pharmacy was closed.
We had a great discussion yesterday on India today. They are #1 in
population. Their economy is not great and there are many human rights
violations. Even so they want a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. That
probably won’t happen. They will continue to be the leader of the South. They will
continue their many entanglements with other countries as they try to walk a
fine line of being non-committal. I’m sure we will have an update in a year or
two.

Dating back over 5,000 years,
the Caral-Supe Civilization is one of the oldest urban centers in the Americas,
located in modern Peru. It demonstrates sophisticated social organization and
