Thoughts for the day

Another record setting day here. No complaints, I’m enjoying this weather.

It was a good football weekend: Broncos beat Raiders, Cards beat 49er’s by 1.

Getting ready for my week vacation in Mexico. I leave next Monday. Did I mention the shuttle picks me up at 2:40AM. I know it will be a great adventure.

I am still dealing with the death of my friend from Tuba. Now I learn there is a police investigation and funeral plans are on hold. I sure hope there was no crime involved.

Native American Facts…

The Navajo Nation Is Larger Than 10 U.S. States

The Navajo Nation, located in the Four Corners region of the southwestern United States, is the largest Native American reservation in the country. Spanning over 27,000 square miles, the Navajo Nation is larger than the states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New Jersey combined.

This vast territory is home to over 300,000 Navajo people, who have maintained their language, traditions, and way of life despite centuries of challenges.

The Navajo Nation has its own government, laws, and public services, making it a nation within a nation. This unique status is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Navajo people to preserve their culture and autonomy.
