Today’s Quote Today’s Meme

"All in all, it
was a never-to-be-forgotten summer — one of those summers which come seldom
into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in their going
— one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful
weather, delightful friends and delightful doing, come as near to perfection
as anything can come in this world." — L.M. Montgomery |

Today’s Thoughts
Another hot day with no moisture in sight.
I’ll be setting up my evap cooler this afternoon.
In case you hadn’t heard…The surfing competition
of the Paris Olympics will take place in French Polynesia, Tahiti, in a couple
of weeks. The 9750 miles between Paris and Tahiti sets a record for the longest
distance between venues at the modern Olympics. Cool.
I just learned that Deb Haaland,
Secretary of Interior and first Indigenous to head the Department was born in
Winslow, AZ.
The July 4th snap election in UK to
select officials seems just a tad ironic.
Flag hasn’t had fireworks in decades
due to the fire danger, so I will be having a cookout with friends tonight.

Origin of common phrases
Kangaroo
court
"Kangaroo court" goes back to the 19th-century U.S. frontier days,
when roaming judges tried legal cases. They were paid by the trial, and a
kangaroo court refers to the image of them hopping from case to case to try as
many as possible.
False Facts about religions
The Bible Condemns
Homosexuality Unequivocally
The Bible never makes an explicit mention of homosexuality as a sin. Even
the punishment given to Sodom and Gomorrah was due to a combination of factors
like sexual immorality, violent crimes, and a lack of hospitality. Different
denominations of Christianity have their own interpretations of the Bible that
they follow.
