Today’s Thoughts

A nice winter day. I started out the week with a quick trip to get some essentials. I found everything I needed and headed home quickly. I was hoping the Detroit Lions would be in their 1st Super Bowl. I’ll be honest, all I know about them is that they always play on Thanksgiving Day. Super Bowl LVIII in Vegas will still be a good game with 49ers vs Kansas City Chiefs.

Weird History…

President Johnson Conducted Meetings While Sitting On The Toilet It's almost too hard to believe, but it's true! President Lyndon B. Johnson was known for conducting meetings while sitting on the toilet. This quirky habit began in the 1950s when he was a Senator from Texas and continued all the way through his presidency. It's said that LBJ would often call members of Congress into the bathroom with him, so they could discuss policy and legislation while he sat there doing his business. Although this may seem odd, it actually worked quite well for him as many of his colleagues respected his no-nonsense approach and willingness to get things done. So next time you find yourself needing to make an important decision, remember that even presidents have their own unique ways of getting things done - even if it means taking care of business on the throne!
