Reflection:
I’m just enjoying another great summer day.
Sorry, just New Mexico will never be New America.
WWII incarceration of Japanese was ruled illegal by the Supreme Court
years ago and that ‘it’ should never happen again. Sadly, some loud voices think
the ‘it’ was for the Japanese, but in
reality, the ‘it’ was incarceration without due process. The current situation with illegals should not
be happening.
This weekend is the Navajo Nation Fair. I have great memories of
attending the fair. Just not just year.
Historical events
Cool to know:
You can major in wine at
Cornell University.
Technically it's a
degree in "Viticulture and Enology" (a.k.a. the
cultivation of grapes and the science of winemaking),
but we're still sending in our applications.
Colorado Wildlife:
Males and females are
similar in appearance with brown upperparts that are streaked with white, white
underparts, a white line above their eyes, and slender, down-curved bills.
Although they are unremarkable in appearance, their behavior is quite interesting.
Their long, stiff, pointed tail is used as a prop while climbing trees. Brown
creepers can be observed hopping up tree trunks looking into crevices and
spiraling upward until they reach the top before fluttering down to the base of
the next tree. They do not move sideways or down tree trunks as nuthatches do.
Brown creepers utter faint hiss notes as they climb up the trunk of a tree.
They also produce a zi-i-i-it note that sounds like a small steel chain falling
into a heap. They rarely sing in migration, but on nesting grounds, they utter
a high-pitched musical song. Brown creepers are also known as: American brown
creeper, American creeper, California creeper, common creeper, little brown
creeper, Mexican creeper, Rocky Mountain creeper, Sierra creeper and tree
creeper.
They are small, slender birds, about only five to 5.75 inches in length with a long wingspread of seven to eight inches. Weights range from 0.25 to 0.33 of an ounce.
Picture of the
Day:
1972. AP Caption: South
Vietnamese forces follow after terrified children, including 9-year-old Kim
Phuc, center, as they run down Route 1 near Trang Bang after an aerial napalm
attack on suspected Viet Cong hiding places, June 8, 1972. A South Vietnamese
plane accidentally dropped its flaming napalm on South Vietnamese troops and
civilians. The terrified girl had ripped off her burning clothes while fleeing.
The children from left to right are: Phan Thanh Tam, younger brother of Kim
Phuc, who lost an eye, Phan Thanh Phouc, youngest brother of Kim Phuc, Kim
Phuc, and Kim's cousins Ho Van Bon, and Ho Thi Ting. Behind them are soldiers
of the Vietnam Army 25th Division.
