Today’s Thoughts
|
It is warming up after a very cold night. It is now a
blistering 45°. The weather guy says more snow is on the way. I’ll wait
to see it before I believe it. I have no big plans for the weekend, I’ll just hang
around the house in case something come up. While I was at lunch today I checked my phone…Behold…5G
at the restaurant. 5G is slowing coming to Flagstaff, but still not at my
house. |

Important inventions…
|
1969: Arpanet Before the entire world is networked, there is the
Arpanet—four computers linked in 1969. It introduces the concept of “packet
switching,” which simultaneously delivers messages as short units and reassembles
them at their destination. Honorable Inventions: Smoke Detector, Charge-Coupled
Device, Automated Teller Machine |
States that never
made the map
|
Muskogee Not just a state, Muskogee was
a self-proclaimed nation established in 1799 by adventurer William Augustus
Bowles in parts of what is now Florida. The flamboyant American Revolutionary
War veteran created the nation as a haven for Native American tribes. Bolstered by the support of
the local Miccosukee and Muscogee tribes, Bowles tried in vain to get his
nation recognized. However, Spanish forces eventually arrested the adventurer
and threw him in prison, where he died, along with the idea of Muskogee, in
1805. |
