Today’s Thoughts
It is another windy Spring day. I’m
sure glad there is no sand to blow. I took my vehicle in for a wash.
My Congressional District has a very
conservative Republican representing us. I am hoping the Democrat unseats him.
The Dem is the former President of the Navajo Nation. This news just came out…Eli
Crane (R) has raised $7,449,412 for his campaign. Jonathan Nez (D) has raised
$1,300,000. I’m tired of big money deciding the vote.
I’m getting a little seasick with the
news from The Strait of Hormuz…it’s open, no, it’s closed, it’s open again, no
it’s closed again. What a mess.
Famous Phrases You Might Be Getting Wrong
“The early bird
gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.”
“Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero (seize the day, put very little trust
in tomorrow).”

Random historical facts you didn’t
know
Beethoven
used a metal rod to feel the musical vibrations
By the
time German composer Ludwig van Beethoven was in his forties, he’d gone
completely deaf. And in order to continue with music, he discovered that if he
clenched a metal rod between his teeth and attached it to his piano, he could
make out faint vibrations.
Ernest
Hemingway survived two plane crashes in two days
In 1954,
Ernest Hemingway and his wife Mary Welsh had a disastrous trip, resulting in
two plane crashes. They were embarking on a sightseeing tour in Uganda
when their first plane crashed and they had to spend the night in the jungle.
The next day, they boarded a rescue plane, which also crashed and caught on
fire. Luckily, they escaped without any harm.
