Today’s Thoughts
Wind advisory from
today through tomorrow. Not unusual for March.
The Page, AZ public library
has been named 2023’s Best Small Library in America. Congratulations.
The library is invested in many outreach programs in the area around Page. This
includes parts of the Navajo Nation and Southern Utah. This is the only library
that serves these areas. While Page has a population of 7500, the library currently
has18,000 current cardholders.
Fox, MSNBC, and CNN
are running Fani Willis Hearing live. Those watching the many days of hearings
are seeing how the sausage is made. I’m not sure how many voters want to see
it. I fear most voters just want to know the outcome. I am interested in seeing
it, but 2 hours at a time is all I can take.
UNESCO sites in America…
Grand Canyon
National Park
Located in Arizona
and designated a World Heritage Site in 1979, the Grand Canyon is a must-visit.
It's a natural feature made about 17 million years ago, encompassing over 277
miles. Note: Years ago I did a 14-day 244 mile non-motorized boat trip in
July with my good friend Bob.
America’s Top Attractions
1930s: Chrysler Building, New
York City, New York
A beacon of Art Deco design,
construction of New York City’s Chrysler Building began in 1928 and was
completed in 1930. As the tallest building in the world, the gleaming
skyscraper with its distinctive spire, which initially had a public viewing
room on its 71st floor, instantly lured sightseers. However, that claim was
short-lived as the taller Empire State Building was completed 11 months later,
but it's still the tallest brick building in the world.
Historical Facts about Native Americans…
Many Native American Warriors Were Women
While the media often depicted only Native American men going
to battle, that wasn't really the case. Many Native American warriors were
actually women.
One of the most famous female warriors was Buffalo Calf Road
Woman from the Northern Cheyenne tribe. She fought in both the Battle of
Rosebud and the Battle of Little Bighorn.
