Today’s Thoughts
Another Monsoon Day is dumping more
rain. Yes!
This mornings Women’s Soccer between
Brazil and USA was a great game. USA gets another gold. Lots of track today.
Very nice. The Women’s 4X4 relay brought us another gold.
Breaking has never been on my sport’s
list. I was at least a decade or two older than the early break dancers back in
the day. I saw some men’s and women’s breaking in Paris today. I must say I saw
some real athletic talent in the breaking I watched. I hope it catches on with
the Olympic games. Too bad, that as of now, it won’t be in LA in 2028.
PBS did a deep dive into homelessness
in Maricopa County (Phoenix). Climate change is bringing very long hot heat
waves. Last summer, 675 died from heat related issues. So far, 440 have died
from heat related issues. In 2013, 1220 people died from heat related issued in
the United States. Phoenix and our state needs to do more to protect the
homeless during heat waves.

taught through tough thorough thought though.

30 years ago, I wonder how many people
had ever uttered the words “My phone got stolen.”

salesman makes you think you got a good deal.
American History…
Why was Chicago
nicknamed the Windy City?© Provided by Best Life
Why was Chicago
nicknamed the Windy City?© Provided by Best Life
Incorrect: It's really windy! Correct: It's home to a
whole lot of "windbag" politicians
While Chicago certainly does experience some blustery weather, the name
has nothing to do with the outdoor elements. In fact, according to one USA
Today report, Chicago doesn't even crack the top 10 windiest
cities in the country.
Chi-town likely picked up its nickname because of the "long-winded"
politicians who rose to power during the 19th century. It's unclear when
exactly the moniker was first used, but it became such a ubiquitous term in
newspapers throughout the 1800s that it just stuck—for good.Events
