Thoughts
for the day
The
ground hog saw his shadow here, so 6 more weeks of winter. Note: The Punxsutawney
Phil prediction is accurate about 30% of the time.
Trump
is fulfilling his campaign promises. I hope those who voted for him are ready
for all that is ahead. When I was attending Univ. of Colorado, I got to hear John
Kenneth Galbraith speak during ‘World Affairs Week’. He introduced me to the tariff concept. The
concept has been around since the Middle Ages. They seldom work to the benefit
of the one placing the tariff.
The
families of both plane crashes are grieving as they wait for true reason the
planes stopped flying.
Mayan
Culture of Mexico and beyond…
The Mayan people still exist today.
When you hear stories of ancient
cultures, you tend to think of them as only existing in the past. While the
Mayan empire was at its height centuries ago, the Mayan people, language and
customs carry on into the present day.
It is estimated that there are about 6
million Mayan people living today, the majority of whom live in Mexico.
Random
Thoughts…
If
dogs had the ability to speak to humans, we still would have no idea what
Scottish Terriers would be trying to tell us.
US President #7 Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) He was the first president to ride a
train.
Origin of
city nicknames…
It’s been suggested that Miami gained its
nickname because of its rapid growth, becoming a city almost overnight as if
'by magic'. In fact, the moniker stems from an article in Henry Flagler’s East
Coast Homeseeker magazine. In 1896 Flagler, who was also the founder
of the Florida East Coast Railway and a major developer of the region, hired a
writer named E.V. Blackman to write a 'strong, positive story' to lure
northerners southward. In his article Blackman, who had never even seen Miami,
lauded it as 'The Magic City', and the name stuck.
