Thoughts for the day
The ‘feels like’ temp is 19. Very
chilly.
I headed out in the cold to get a much-needed
haircut. All better now.
Trump is the first in many ways. He is
the first President-elect who continues to sell watches, sneakers, new inaugural
bible, boots, crypto, commutative coins and
commutative guitars.
Rachael Maddow will be on the air 5
nights a week for the first 100 days of the 2nd Trump administration.
She says she will return to once a week after that.
Pete Hegseth had his hearing to become
Defense Secretary. It was a whole lot of same old, same old. It lasted 4-1/2
hours.
Mayan Culture of Mexico and beyond…
Most cities were
abandoned by 900 A.D.
The Mayan empire centered
around roughly 40 massive stone cities scattered throughout southern Mexico and
Central America. The height of the empire was around the year 250 A.D.
This is the period when
we saw the reign of cities like Tikal, Bonampak, Calakmul and Palenque. Each
city had anywhere from 5,000 to 50,000 people. But by the year 900 most of
these cities had been abandoned.
Random Thoughts…
Considering how there’s
no traces of humans in the film, the Lion King
could be set in any era. It could be the bronze age, 21st century or a cyborg
future where humanity has gone extinct.
Buddy Holly – Real Name: Charles Hardin
A group of Larks is called a Exaltation or Ascension.
You know that your game
of monopoly starts to escalate when
someone asks for the game instructions.
Joe Francis, founder and
CEO of Girls Gone Wild, filed bankruptcy and fled
the US to Mexico in order to avoid paying an outstanding gambling debt to Steve
Wynn and the subsequent arrest warrant for failure to pay.
Origin of city nicknames…
Akron, Ohio: ‘The Rubber City’
Akron’s status as ‘Rubber City’
is directly tied to another entry on this list; Detroit. By the early 20th
century, Akron was already a major rubber producer, with companies such as B.F.
Goodrich, Goodyear and Firestone all well established. But as the automobile
industry exploded in ‘Motor City’, so did the tire industry. By the 1910s
Akron was the fastest-growing city in the US, and by the 1960s almost a third
of its population worked in rubber factories. Only Goodyear remains today, but
the smell of rubber will always linger.
