Thoughts for the day

Another windy day…it always happens as the seasons change.

It’s drying out our forest.

On Sunday, the Cards beat the Rams, but the Broncos lost to the Steelers.

There was another assassination attempt on Trump. I am appalled that my country has fallen so far from our ideals. The guy set up around 2am and wasn't discovered until after noon. WOW?! I still believe our President is selected on Election Day by the people. Political violence has been increasing in this country in the last decade. Very little has been done to prevent it. Both sides have been involved and both sides continue to say it.

Until we elected statesmen/stateswomen to various Federal offices this will continue. Statespeople look at the big picture for the good of the country; whereas politicians only look to the next election.

Riddles

Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain in the world?

Random Thoughts…

To be called inconsistent, you have to be consistently inconsistent. Making you consistent.

There might be particles that do move faster than the speed of light, but we just wouldn’t be able to see them. #science

Slang Words…

Regifting

- Pop culture reference point: "Seinfeld" (1995)

Have you ever passed off an unwanted present to someone else? Turns out, you have "Seinfeld" to thank for giving the practice an official name. The phrase "regifting" showed up in Season 6 episode "The Label Maker," in which a pair of Super Bowl tickets are repeatedly gifted from one character to another.
