Looks like another great summer day.
My lunch retirement group are all in Phx, so I’m holding down Flag until next

If any candidate is going to speak
only about issues, I will listen. If any candidate is going to speak badly of
their opponent, do it out of my hearing.
Over a month ago, my landlord ordered
new screens for my windows. Over the years they have become loose in their frame.
They will be delivered today. Yeah!

American History…
What happened after
Pocahontas met John Smith?
Incorrect: They fell in love and lived happily ever after. Correct:
Pocahontas married John Rolfe
That whole story about Pocahontas and John Smith falling
in love is just a fabrication of Disney movie magic. In reality,
Pocahontas was just 11 or 12 years old when Smith showed up. And
while she may have saved him from being killed by her powerful father, there's
no evidence that the two fell in love or had any kind of relationship. The real
story is far less Disney-friendly.
First, she was held captive by the English for some time. Then, she
converted to Christianity, changed her name to Rebecca, and, when she turned
17, married a tobacco planter named John Rolfe. The two had a son and
eventually traveled to England, where Pocahontas passed away when she was only
around 20 or 21 years old.
