Today’s Thoughts
Another early spring day. Nice.
Yesterday several wildfires broke out near Custer South Dakota. This area
of SD is beautiful and I always enjoyed visiting the forest, the meadows and
the many buffalo. At the same time, a fire broke out south of Flagstaff along the
interstate. This beautiful weather is drying out the area and placing us in the
Extreme category for fires. So sad.
The shutdown continues and is really affecting TSA at airports. Over 300
workers have already quit, while all TSA workers are working without a
paycheck. While TSA can be a little frustrating, these are Federal workers who
deserve to be paid. Most businesses in this country won’t offer groceries, gas,
electricity, or mortgage payments to TSA workers with a promise to pay when
they get paid.
Real Hoaxes
In
1995, a grainy black-and-white video surfaced, showing doctors
dissecting what seemed to be an alien recovered from the 1947 Roswell
crash. The footage spread quickly worldwide.
Years later, the filmmaker admitted that the film
was staged, using latex models and fake organs.
In
1967, a short film shot in California showed a large, hairy creature
striding through the woods. Many viewers thought this was real proof of
Bigfoot´s existence.
Decades
later, one participant claimed it was a man in a gorilla suit, but that claim
failed to convince many people who prefer to believe in the existence of this
creature.
