Today’s
Quote
"May
you live all the days of your life."
May
those who love us love us.
And
those that don't love us,
May
God turn their hearts.
And
if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May
he turn their ankles,
So we'll know them by their
limping.
Random
Tidbits
In
South America, scientist have discovered deliberately made 'skull
holes' that may have been made to treat painful headaches, brain
disease, or to let 'evil spirits' out of the head.
Called
'trepanation,
'
the process of making those holes was incredibly painful. The high
number of trepanized skulls suggests that this brain surgery was
commonplace.

My
Rambling Thoughts
My
new Travel driver's license arrived in the mail yesterday. Ready to
travel now.
I
seldom go grocery shopping on Sunday, but it was a busy week last
week and I needed more of my morning juice. I headed to Fry's to get
what I needed. As I was dreading the self-checkout, they had 4 lines
open with human checkers. Haven't seen that many in months. I got in
line, and there was a young man checking. There was a sign “Cashier
in training”. He did a quick job. I told him I was happy to see
them training clerks, and that I had put myself through college back
in the day by being a grocery checker. He smiled, but the look on his
face was 'Really?!?' Not sure if the look was 'You went to college?'
or 'a job like this paid for college?'
I
understand that statistics can be cherry-picked to say just about
anything. Recently read that AZ incarcerates Hispanics at 7 times the
National average...AZ incarcerates 800/100,000 Hispanics. In another
article I read that in CO, 14.9% of Hispanic adults have greaduated
from college. That number is 1/3 less than the White population in
CO. On a happier note: AZ is the highest in seniors moving here of
all states. CO has the lowest adult obesity rate of any state.
Today’s
Puzzle
Answer at the bottom of the page
A group of campers have
been on vacation so long, that they've forgotten the day of the week.
The following conversation ensues.
Darryl:
What's the day? I don't think it is Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
Tracy:
Well that doesn't narrow it down much. Yesterday was Sunday.
Melissa:
Yesterday wasn't Sunday, tomorrow is Sunday.
Ben:
The day after tomorrow is Saturday.
Adrienne:
The day before yesterday was Thursday.
Susie:
Tomorrow is Saturday.
David:
I know that the day after tomorrow is not Friday.
If
only one person's statement is true, what day of the week is it?

Puzzle
Answer:
It is Wednesday.
If it was any other day of the week, more than one statement would be
true. To solve the riddle, evaluate each person's statement and write
down what day it could be according to the statement. David's
statement indicates it could be any day of the week except for
Wednesday. When you list the days that it could be according to
everyone's statement, it turns out Wednesday is the day mentioned
only one time. Darryl: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday Tracy:
Monday Melissa: Saturday Ben: Thursday Adrienne: Saturday Susie:
Friday David: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday
