Today’s Thoughts
Nice spring day...storm
due this weekend.
I filed my taxes
today and am getting back a nice chunk of change. Happy about that.
Journalism has changed
since I was young, watching Walter Cronkite every night. Here is something that
should have never changed: “Journalism should always to Tell The Truth”, Lester
Holt. Too many ‘journalists’ today forget that. Today there seems to be a
difference between ‘the truth’ and ‘my truth’.
Terms with origins in rural America
Full
of beans
Meaning
energetic, "full of beans" is thought to come from late-1800s horse
racing, when horses would be fed beans to make them gassy in the belief that
they would run faster.
Native Cultures
One
report claims that there were nearly 50 million indigenous people already
referring to the country as their home when Columbus' boat first pulled onto
shore.
Historical Myths many believe…
The
Black Death Only Affected Europe
The
Black Death was a devastating bubonic plague that wiped out vast numbers of
people living in Europe in the 14th century, but that is not where it
originated. Historians believe the plague came from Central Asia, in modern-day
Kyrgyzstan. It wrought a terrible toll on human populations wherever it spread,
including most of Asia, Africa, and Europe.
Historic Events
Ë 1842 – The Vienna
Philharmonic Orchestra debuted, conducted by Otto Nicolai.
Ë 1881 – ‘The Greatest
Show On Earth’ Barnum and Baily Brothers Circus debuted.
Ë 1979 – The Three
Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant accident occurred.
