Today’s Thoughts
The heatwave continues. Sure glad my
evap cooler keeps plugging away.
The press isn’t buying Biden’s latest
interview. It is time to talk about his policies in his next term. I know his accomplishments;
I want to know what is ahead.
It sure looks like any Trump new
convictions is off the table, and there is a slim chance that his latest
convictions will be overturned. What a mess.
I was happy to hear that Hurricane
Beryl missed my brothers place. They got wind and rain, but not a devastating
hurricane.

Origin of common phrases
Long
in the tooth
Referring
to being old, the term "long in the tooth" can first be found in a South Dakota newspaper in
1889, when a prospective buyer was trying to judge the age of a horse. Horses' teeth keep growing through their lives—although they are ground down as
the horses eat—and so are used to determine their age.
False Facts about religions
All Jews Follow the
Same Religious Practices
Like Christians, Jews adhere to multiple denominations within their
faith. There are Orthodox Jews, Reform Jews, and Conservative Jews, each with
its own philosophy and interpretation of the laws contained in the Torah.
Cultural differences further influence practice within these denominations
worldwide.

I’m a product of the 60s and it was a very influential period in my life, and
you know, my head was turned around a bit, my eyes were opened as it were. In

peace and love.” 75 – Shelley Duvall,
