Today’s Thoughts
Another hot day. Monsoon will return
soon.
Things are going well.
It is too hot to be outside for any
extended period. So I’m sitting here deciding which cleaning I will tackle
later today. HaHa. I think I’ll pick the easiest one.

Origin of common phrases
Open a can of worms
To "open a can
of worms" means to cause a multitude of
problems in the process of trying to solve one. It dates to the 1950s when
fishermen would buy sealed metal cans of earthworms for bait, and opening the
can to get one worm could mean many would crawl out.
False Facts about religions
Women Are Forced to
Wear the Hijab
Yes, we see women being forced to cover their heads in certain Islamic
countries like Afghanistan and Iran. But the Qur’an itself doesn’t make hijabs
mandatory for women; it only encourages women to wear coverings as a form of
faith and modesty. The practice is largely influenced by local cultural and
social values.
