Today’s Thoughts
The monsoon returned last evening and
is continuing today.
Faith and Andy had to postpone their
Jamica trip due to Hurricane Beryl. Better safe than sorry. I understand the feelings, mine were from the
Tahiti trip postponed due to COVID. They are delayed by a very early hurricane.
America has been waiting for the
Supreme Court decision on immunity of the President. The decision was released
this morning. It appears that the President of the United States is immune from
a large number of ‘official acts’. I see this as a slap in the face for those
who believe ‘no man is above the law’. Time will tell if our country survives
intact after this decision.

Origin of common phrases
Heard
it through the grapevine
"Heard
it through the grapevine" means learning something through gossip or
rumor. One theory dates
it to the informal way of communication through what was called a grapevine
telegraph for people who were enslaved. Another theory ascribes the phrase to the early telegraph system in
the 19th century that used miles of wire strung from poles that resembled
grapevine trellises.
False Facts about religions
All Hindus Are
Vegetarians
Given that cows hold an almost divine status in Hinduism and that the
scriptures promote vegan diets through compassion for all beings, it’s easy to see
why many mistake all Hindus for being entirely vegetarian. However, Pew Research tells us that
only 40% of Hindus actually have a strictly vegetarian diet.
