Thoughts for the day
Getting ready for a very windy
weekend. Gusts are expected up to 45 mph.
I was surprised when my SS check
posted. I was expecting about $150, but it was for $320. Due to the problems at
SS, I’ll wait to next month to see if that $320 continues.
I can’t believe Sec. of Defense
Hegseth is still in his job. He should not be running our Defense Department. How
can any Secretary of any department have a unsecured internet connection placed
in their personal office. It is dumbfounding.
Ancient Civilizations Few Have Heard Of…
The Nabateans: Jordan
Carving entire cities out of sandstone cliffs wasn’t just impressive, it
was revolutionary. The Nabateans, who flourished in what's now Jordan, engineered
Petra with advanced water systems and architecture. Petra's pink-hued wonder
still leaves visitors speechless.

Taught in High School but not true…
Betsy Ross made the first
American flag
This one hasn’t been disproved;
it just hasn’t been proven. Ross died in 1836; 34 years later, her grandson
told the story of his grandmother being personally approached by George
Washington to sew the flag for the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Everyone
just took his word for it, along with signed affidavits from other family
members.
