Thoughts for the
day
A very nice late summer day. Just a tad windy.
I had a good visit with my Primary Care guy. I’ve lost another 8 lbs., my
A1C was 5.9 so my diabetic meds are being cut in half and he is very pleased
with my overall picture. Also, he has been having back problems, including
wearing a brace, for the past year. Today he looked much better. He had a back
procedure a few months ago and it fixed his problems too.
Today is my mother’s birthday. She had a good life for 89 years and is
still missed.
The idea that Israel attacked Qatar to kill Hamas leaders, in Qatar to participate
in peace talks, is not acceptable. It is time our government had a real
sit-down serious talk with the Israel government.
I was sad to hear of the shooting at Evergreen High School in Colorado. When
I was in Elementary School a neighbor with 2 girls similar to our age had a
cabin in Evergreen. We visited several times. They later moved to Evergreen
full time.
I don’t think I will ever understand why some believe that killing
someone who disagrees with your political views is acceptable. If only there
was a way to stop it. Wait, there is, but too many are afraid of reasonable gun
control.
Myths from Medieval
Times
Witch Hunts Were Not Common In The Middle Ages
Pop quiz: when did the
European witch hunts happen? If you guessed the 13th, 14th, or 15th centuries,
you're too early. Major European witch hunts did not begin until the Early
Modern Period, between 1550 and 1700.
Witch trials were not common
during the Middle Ages. Some religious leaders, such as Pope Gregory VII, did
not believe in witches and requested that people did not search for them. But
others still believed in witchcraft. In 1487, clergyman Heinrich Kramer wrote
the infamous Malleus Maleficarum which explained how to spot
and condemn a witch.
Wrong Common
Knowledge
You Only Use 10% of Your Brain
This one has been around for
ages, but it’s completely false. Brain scans show that people use all parts of
their brain, even when they’re resting. Different areas become active depending
on what you’re doing, but no part of your brain just sits there unused.
