Today’s Reflection:
A warm summer day. I’m looking forward to a great weekend.
I saw my
Primary Care Physician. K took in some apple fritters and donuts from Dunkin’
to thank them for their quick response to my illness. They were happy. All
reports were good. Reviewed my meds and have a current list. I don’t need to
see him again until October. That is really good news.
Every day I
am moving more and feeling better. This was a good wakeup call for eating and
exercising better.
I ordered food and other stuff from Walmart. It will be here at my house around 2pm. This sure beats trekking through the store with a cart and a cane.
Historical events
Good to know:
The Legend of Devil's Tower© earth
Seven sisters played happily until a massive bear began
chasing them across the plains. Desperate for safety, they jumped onto a small
rock and prayed for salvation.
The rock heard their pleas and began to grow skyward, lifting
the girls beyond the bear's reach. Furious, the massive creature clawed at the
stone tower, creating the distinctive vertical striations still visible today
on Wyoming's Devil's Tower.
The girls didn't stop rising until they reached the heavens,
becoming the constellation we know as the Pleiades or Seven Sisters. This Kiowa
legend beautifully connects earthly landmarks with celestial bodies,
demonstrating how Native American stories often linked the physical landscape
to the night sky.

female Red-winged Blackbird stands balancing on a lily pad, her wings partially
outstretched, revealing the touch of red on her shoulders. More yellow flowers

Today’s Trivia:
The process of metamorphism (or the process that makes existing rocks
into metamorphic rocks) does not melt the rocks, but rather transforms them
into denser, more compact rocks through either rearrangement of mineral
components or reactions with fluids that enter the rocks during the
transformation process. The rocks are typically squished, smeared out, and
folded, but they do not get hot enough to melt — if they did, they would be
classified as igneous rocks instead.
