Today’s Thoughts
Quarterly vision checkup went well. No
new issues. Old ones under control.
The Trump events of the weekend have
me stunned and saddened. I am glad that Trump only received minor injury from
the assassination attempt on Saturday. Like many Americans, I don’t like to admit
that we live in a violent political society. It is much easier to think that
political violence always happens ‘way over there’ in another part of the
world. Neither political party nor candidate is exempt from raising the
temperature in this Presidential election cycle. Media outlets that take a violent
sound bite and play it over and over are not exempt. I’m going to listen
carefully to what each candidate/party has to say before I vote in November.
On Monday morning I was very surprised
that the Trump trial on Classified documents was dismissed by the judge. I’m
sure there will be appeals. This sure looks like a political move as the Republican
Convention began this morning.
Then Trump announces his VP will be Sen.
J D Vance of Ohio. It is time to read up on this populist conservative who opposes
abortion, marriage equality, and seems to want a bigger wall.

Phrases used by Old-er People that younger people might not
understand
“Don’t Put All Your Eggs
in One Basket”
You may have heard this phrase before, but if you’re not a
boomer, you likely haven’t used it yourself. It means not to risk everything on
one venture. According to Poem Analysis, the phrase first came to be in the 17th century, though
boomers used it frequently to emphasize the value of prudence and forethought.
False Facts about religions
Nirvana Is a Place
Nirvana isn’t like heaven or Valhalla, which are places where nobles go
to receive rewards for their good deeds. Instead, as Britannica clarifies, it
is a mental state characterized by the absence of suffering. It also signifies
the end of the cycle of birth and rebirth (samsara).
