Thoughts
for the day
I headed out this morning to get my
flu shot…that’s 2 down (COVID & Flu), all that is left is RSV. My doctor
told me not to do RSV last year ‘cause it was new and there were still
questions. Them questions must have been answered cause now he says to get one.
I’ve still got stuff to do before I
head for Mexico, but I’m slowly getting there. I’ll be ready when the time
comes. I’ve done many trips to their place, and every time we do something new
to me. This time will be no different.
I watched the VP debate. Listening to
the commentary, everyone saw a different debate…no wonder there is no clear
winner. The right is saying that Vance won by a landslide. The left is saying
Walz was the clear winner. Only the voters will tell us on election day.
The Middle East is awaiting the retaliation
from yesterday’s strike. I really can’t imagine what it is like to live in a war
zone.

We live in a world where lemonade is

The Canadian $100 bill featured an
Asian woman on the back using a microscope. People complained that it was
stereotyping Asians as being good at technology. She was replaced with a
Caucasian woman, and then more people complained that Caucasians were being
favored.

US President #20 James Garfield
(1881-1881) President Garfield was shot by Charles Guiteau, a lawyer upset with
Garfield because he denied Guiteau a diplomatic post. He probably died from the
doctors’ poking and prodding and infection, as the bullet was lodged in a NOT
life-threatening location!

Significant Contributions to Science & Medicine

Americans have made groundbreaking contributions to various fields of science

who became the first Native American to earn a medical degree in 1889. She went
on to provide healthcare to her community and opened a hospital on the Omaha
reservation.
Other trailblazers include
Bertha Parker Pallan Cody, considered the first Native American woman
archaeologist, and Mary Golda Ross, a Cherokee aerospace engineer who played a
