Today’s Thoughts

It’s a breezy day. I’ll see if I want to go out later.

There are way too many unclear reasons for why we are bombing Iran. This is now affecting the view of America by many allies and enemies. It is turning into a mess that will take decades to clean up. Many Americans are speaking up that this is not why they voted for Trump. It is sad that he can’t clearly state the reason<s> that he sent the bombs. Americans know that innocent Iranian women and children are being killed by our bombs. The retaliation bombs are doing a lot of damage to the populations in nearby states. When I was in school, and when I was a teacher or supervisor in schools, I always thought that students should know the consequences of their actions. I also thought that knowing the consequences ahead of the incident would usually prevent an incident. I am feeling that the current administration must have been absent during all those lessons. 

Common Saying’s Origin

As drunk as Cooter Brown

"Cooter Brown" was a figure in Southern stories who lived on the Mason-Dixon line during the Civil War. To avoid having to serve on either side, legend has it, he stayed drunk for the length of the war.

That dog won't hunt

"That dog won't hunt" refers to something that is defective or doesn't function properly. In the South, it's a term derived from hunting.

Today’s Thoughts

Another nice winter day. Love the sunshine and warmth.

More pictures from Dubai, so sad.

I wonder if Trump considered what his attack would do to the gas prices in the US. I’m watching them closely and am sure they will rise a lot.

My birthday was very nice as I look to another great year ahead. 

Historic Trivia

Eat Your Vegetables

During WWII, British intelligence spread the rumor that the Royal Air Force pilots enjoyed superior night vision because they ate copious amounts of carrots. The real purpose of the rumor was to keep German intelligence from discovering the Brits’ advanced use of radar. Of course, there's just one little problem.

The fact is, while vitamin A in carrots is good for eye health, it probably won’t help you detect enemy forces in the dark from an airplane.

 

The Perfect Mate

If life is getting you down at all, here's a fact specifically designed to cheer you up: Seahorses are monogamous life mates that travel in pairs while holding each other’s tails.
