Today’s Thoughts
A nice spring day. No complaints.
I talked to Mary this morning. She and Mike are doing well in Phoenix.
Things for them are going well. They are coming to Flag tomorrow for a day
trip. I can’t do lunch this time as I have a dental appointment. Then I had a
nice talk with my brother in Spain. His trip is sensational. It will be winding
down soon as he heads to Chicago for Laura’s grandmother’s 100th
birthday later this month. Very cool.
Throughout my life I have had things I like and thing I do not like. I
grew up being told, ‘you just have to take one bite’ if I didn’t like
something. As an adult I try to give everything a chance. If I like it, great…if
I don’t, I don’t have to keep doing it. That’s
what is bothering me about the current administration. If they like something,
then everyone has to like it. If they don’t like something, then it must be
abolished. It doesn’t seem to matter what the individual feels or believes, if
it doesn’t meet the administrations desires. This is not the way I was raised
and I turned out just fine.
Science Fact of the Day
The
Reticulated Python (Python reticulatus) is the heaviest python on Earth.
Each one can weigh up to 250 pounds. At 33 ft. long, these creatures are also
the longest snakes in the world.

Native American Courage in History
Red Cloud’s War And The Battle For Land
Rights
The battle, from 1866 to 1868, marked a
critical victory for the Lakota Sioux, who successfully forced the U.S. to
abandon the Bozeman Trail forts. This conflict underscored Native resistance to
territorial encroachment and resulted in the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie,
temporarily securing Native land rights in the region.
