Thoughts for the day

A nice warm spring day.

Flagstaff and Coconino County are starting Stage 2 fire restrictions today. As I see it, better safe than sorry.

Trump Administration strikes again. The entire Fulbright Scholarship Board has resigned. While they have been independent for 80+ years, now Trump says he has final say on all scholarships. This is just more craziness to drive Americans into insanity.

Historic Figures who never existed…

Pope Joan©Unknown author on Wikimedia

The legend about Pope Joan started circulating in the 13th century, claiming that she reigned for slightly over two years from 855 to 858, under the disguise of a man who rose through the ranks. However, it's now widely believed by scholars that the lady pontiff is pure myth; for one, there doesn't seem to be concrete evidence of her existence, and her supposed rule overlaps two highly documented popes, St. Leo IV and Benedict III, who served between the years of 847–855 and 855-858.nd
