Thoughts for the day
Another nice winter day.
Social media is spreading so much incorrect
information on the 2 events that took place yesterday. Sad.
The FBI is investigating the
cybertruck explosion at the front of Trump Tower in Vegas. Not a lot of viable
information yet. It was rented in Denver. Musk has sent several techies to
recover video that may be in the truck.
I did some shopping this morning. Then
had my vehicle washed and waxed. All
good.
I got more texts and telephone calls
from friends. Nice to be remembered.
Inventions…
Beulah Louise Henry - Ice Cream Freezer
Known as “Lady Edison,” Beulah Louise Henry invented a
vacuum-sealed ice cream freezer in 1912 that could make ice cream without using
salt or ice. Her design kept ice cream cold longer and prevented it from
getting too hard or developing ice crystals. The freezer could make multiple
flavors at once and was much more efficient than existing models. Her invention
led to improvements in commercial ice cream production and storage.

Quirky town names…
Tightwad, Missouri
The town’s name came from a stingy postmaster who refused to
lower the price of a watermelon for a customer. The incident left such an
impression that the name Tightwad was adopted.
