Today’s Thoughts
A very nice weather day. Sunshine and no jacket needed.
I did shopping today to pick up the necessary monthly supplies. All
stocked up and almost ready for March.
I’m going to enjoy my birthday on Saturday. The journey has been long,
but I still have much to do so I am looking forward to the next year. The one
thing that older age has given me, is
that the skin on my hands is like tissue paper and bruise very easily. I have
some cream, but the doctors say not to worry about it. It is still frustrating.
Now that both Clintons have testified under oath regarding their
involvement with Epstein, it is time for Trump to also testify. What is good
for the goose is good for the gander. The girls and women need to have the whole
truth of Epstein’s escapades.
Historic Trivia
The Chance Case of the Curious Mummy
Found in 1991 in the Ötztal Alps, Ötzi
“the Iceman” is the
earliest natural human mummy ever found in Europe. Ötzi was alive from
sometime between 3400 and 3100 BCE. The most surprising thing about him? He
had tattoos! And not just a couple...researchers have identified a
total of 61 different tattoos covering his body. That means he's not only the
oldest tattooed person ever found, but also (probably) one of the oldest
ancestors to today's Brooklyn hipsters.
The tattoo ink itself was produced from ash or soot and is
believed to have been used as a form of pain relief.
How (Not) to Get Rich
You may have heard of a little Internet outfit called Google? They're kind of a big deal. But the fact you probably
don't know is that in 1999, when Google was still little more than a search
engine at the very beginning of the Internet, the founders offered to sell
the company for one million dollars, to another company called Excite.
The geniuses at Excite saw the opportunity, considered the potential...and promptly turned it down. Good thinking there, fellas.
