Today’s Thoughts

The 2’-4” expected snow was only a dusting. Maybe more coming later today.

Henry Kissinger passes at 100. He was Sec of State for Richard Nixon, and then stayed active in global policies until his death. He led a very complicated diplomacy life. He will be remembered more for his good deeds than his controversial deeds.

The 4 public schools and Tuba Boarding School posted last night that all schools would be closed Nov. 30 due to social media threats. No further information. Weird for sure. While I was having lunch with Andy and Faith, a mutual friend called Andy. He worked at GreyHills Academy HS (BIE-gramt) in Tuba. They did not close. His information said a female posted on social media that she was going to shoot up the Boarding school and then move to the Public School. Navajo Police have identified her but have not been able to contact her, yet. This story is full of intrigue now.

Enjoy
