Thoughts for
the day
Day 40 of the current shutdown.
I had a nice visit with Laurie Eckhardt this morning. She is doing well
as are her two grown kids with their families. Chris, her son, had to have an
operation to put a permanent tube in his brain to drain fluid to his gut. It was
a little frightening but he is doing very well a couple of months after the
procedure. Laurie wanted some help with a new website she is making for her
late husband’s artwork. I was able to offer some help in the decision making
process.
I read an interesting article on the difference between unemployment and
functionally unemployed. The rate we see in the news is the former, currently
about 4%. (Interestingly, if you work 2 hours in a month for pay, you are considered
employed for this government data.) The latter is people who are unable to find
full-time work, and that figure is about 25%.
Animals From Native American Legends
And What They Symbolize
Thunderbird
The thunderbird is a mighty spirit bird known
for its massive wings and storms. In tribal legend, the thunderbird controls
thunder and lightning, defeats monsters, or brings needed rain.
People see thunderbirds as protectors during
times of crisis and respect their power as a reminder that nature's strongest
forces deserve humility and awe.
Carvings, dances, and stories celebrate the
thunderbird's energy and its role in restoring order.
Boomers Were Forced to Memorize These
Facts—And They’re All Useless Now…
There Are
Four Oceans in the World
We had to
memorize the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic Oceans as the four official
ones. Then, out of nowhere, scientists decided to add a fifth—the Southern
Ocean. While it makes sense from a geographical and scientific perspective, it
made all those school quizzes instantly outdated. If only we had known back
then that even something as massive as an ocean could be subject to change.
Random Thoughts…
Every
broken clock tells you the exact time it passed away.
Most
people pull their phones out of their pockets to check the time. We are
reverting to the era of pocket watches.
When you
give someone food, you’re feeding them. But when you give them water, you
aren’t watering them.
We’ll
never really know what it smells like underwater.
