Thoughts for the day

Another nice late summer day.

I’m still enjoying the great news I got for my oncology doctor. I am continuing to get better every day.

I spent a little time at Walmart get household stuff and food staples. It was another successful trip.

I am glad that the officials have the Charlie Kirk’s shooter before the courts. I don’t need to hear all the ins and outs of what the charging documents say. Just trust the system and let it play out.

Lightning Never Strikes the Same Place Twice

It absolutely does. In fact, some places get hit by lightning repeatedly, like the Empire State Building, which gets struck dozens of times a year. Lightning follows the path of least resistance, so tall structures are prime targets.

Thoughts for the day

A nice summer day.

I had my blood treatment this morning. Only good news from the doctor. Since my treatment started I have lost 18 lbs. All my blood numbers look great. The nurse told me I looked really good, with the puffiness in my face is gone. Great!

Yesterday, the Cards won, and the Broncos lost. On to the next game.

Emily Brontë

She was the author of a book that you very likely have heard of called, Wuthering Heights. Naturally, the world was devastated when she died at 30. She had only one novel and showed the potential with just that to become one of the unrivaled literary greats.

Camels Store Water in Their Humps

Camels are built for survival in the desert, but their humps don’t actually store water. Instead, they’re filled with fat, which provides energy when food is scarce. Camels do store water efficiently in their bodies, but not in their humps.

Thoughts for the day

Another nice late summer day. Nights are just getting cooler and cooler. I slept well with a blanket next to me, just in case.

A couple of funnel clouds were seen near Window Rock. Unusual for sure. The one touchdown in San Juan County, UT. Several home areas were destroyed on the Navajo Rez. Thankfully there were no injuries.

The Panthers play the Cardinals, and the Broncos play the Colts later this afternoon.

Prescription drug advertising may soon be a thing of the past on TV, radio, the internet, and print media. There is a proposal now to do just that. I’m sure pharmacists and doctors are behind that move. Many of them have been inundated with questions if the drug on TV will relieve their symptoms. Let the professionals do their job.

I remember my dad would always enter the Publisher Clearinghouse contests, hoping for that $1000/week for life. Recently the prize was $5000/week for life. I also entered many of them when I was living on the Rez. Neither of us ever won anything. In July, PCH filed for bankruptcy. Now they have announced they will no longer be paying out those ‘for life’ payments. They are blaming bankruptcy on the huge decrease in print subscriptions. I do feel sorry for those who counted on that payment. It seems many did early retirement and have been out of the workforce for decades. That is quite a blow.

John F. Kennedy

John F. Kenney is a name that you'll hear thrown around plenty of times. He was the youngest elected U.S. president. He had ambitious plans for both civil rights and space exploration before his assassination at the age of 46.

Cracking Your Knuckles Causes Arthritis

Many people believe that cracking your knuckles will eventually lead to arthritis, but there’s no evidence to support this. The popping sound comes from gas bubbles in the fluid around your joints. While it might annoy the people around you, it won’t damage your hands.
