Thoughts for the
day
Another nice late summer day. Nights are just getting cooler and cooler.
I slept well with a blanket next to me, just in case.
A couple of funnel clouds were seen near Window Rock. Unusual for sure.
The one touchdown in San Juan County, UT. Several home areas were destroyed on
the Navajo Rez. Thankfully there were no injuries.
The Panthers play the Cardinals, and the Broncos play the Colts later
this afternoon.
Prescription drug advertising may soon be a thing of the past on TV,
radio, the internet, and print media. There is a proposal now to do just that.
I’m sure pharmacists and doctors are behind that move. Many of them have been
inundated with questions if the drug on TV will relieve their symptoms. Let the
professionals do their job.
I remember my dad would always enter the Publisher Clearinghouse
contests, hoping for that $1000/week for life. Recently the prize was $5000/week
for life. I also entered many of them when I was living on the Rez. Neither of
us ever won anything. In July, PCH filed for bankruptcy. Now they have
announced they will no longer be paying out those ‘for life’ payments. They are
blaming bankruptcy on the huge decrease in print subscriptions. I do feel sorry
for those who counted on that payment. It seems many did early retirement and
have been out of the workforce for decades. That is quite a blow.
Historic Figures
who died too soon…
John F. Kennedy
John F. Kenney is a name that
you'll hear thrown around plenty of times. He was the youngest elected U.S.
president. He had ambitious plans for both civil rights and space exploration
before his assassination at the age of 46.
Wrong Common
Knowledge
Cracking Your Knuckles Causes Arthritis
Many people believe that
cracking your knuckles will eventually lead to arthritis, but there’s no
evidence to support this. The popping sound comes from gas bubbles in the fluid
around your joints. While it might annoy the people around you, it won’t damage
your hands.
