Thoughts for the day

A nice day with a clear blue sky. Nice!

I’ve been getting blood treatments for the last two days. All has gone well. To avoid adverse effects the meds are pumped in very slowly. So far that has worked fine. Next treatment is Monday. One of the drugs they give me is Benadryl, which makes me sleeply. While there isn’t a lot of the main medicine, it is infused very slowly and that is what takes the time. When I get back, I take a short nap and then get on with the short day left.

I went out this morning and got a much-needed haircut. That also went well.

I would really like to go back to the days that when the President was talking to Americans, we could believe what he was saying. It is getting more difficult to fine the truth.

Historic Figures who never existed…

King Solomon©Gustave Doré on Wikimedia

King Solomon is often cited as the third king of Israel, whose reign lasted 40 years during the 10th century BCE. Honored for his wisdom and his construction of the first Temple in Jerusalem, he's a renowned figure in biblical texts, though evidence of his life is few and far between. Archeologists have yet to uncover conclusive proof of his existence.

Random Thoughts…

All “Granny Smith” Apple trees are clones (grafted not grown) of a single tree in Australia.

I’ll do it later, ’cause I’ll be older and therefore wiser.

Hollywood released over 100 musicals in 1930 but only 14 in 1931.

 

The world’s widest river, the Everglades, is 112 miles wide but only a meter deep in most places.

 

All the numbers on a roulette wheel add up to 666.
