Thoughts for the day
A nice warm summer day.
I headed out to buy some stuff at Sam’s. A warning light came on that my
key fob battery was low. I stopped at the dealership to get a new battery. They
replaced it at no charge. Nice.
A big Thank You to Mexico for sending workers to help in the flooding in

Famous Quotes That People Have Always
Misinterpreted
"A rose by any other name would smell as
sweet" – William Shakespeare
This is a common misinterpretation of
Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. The actual quote is, “What’s in
a name? That which we call a rose, by another word, would smell as sweet.” The
misquote almost gives a sense of adultery, which is the complete opposite of
what the play is actually about.
Famous Historical Myths That People
Still Believe Today

Dickinson Source: Wikimedia Commons.
Emily
Dickinson’s innovative and introspective poetry reshaped American verse,
introducing a new era of literary expression. Though she published only a
handful of poems during her lifetime, Dickinson’s work has become central to
American literature. Her brief, enigmatic lines invite endless interpretation
and remain staples in classrooms and scholarly debate. Academic resources, such
as those from Harvard University, continue to illuminate her lasting
impact and the enduring mystery of her poetic voice.
