Thoughts for the
day
It looks like another day of rain on and off. No complaints…the moisture
is appreciated. This is great for the high country. Unfortunately, the Phoenix
area and south to Globe are experiencing road flooding due to this moisture
front.
I need to have a government that does everything possible to stop the gun
violence in this country. Today it was an LDS church in Michigan. This country has
had enough straws that should have broken the camel’s back. When will our leadership
realize that enough is enough?

Destinations That Were Once No-Go Zones
Timor-Leste
Timor-Leste
(East Timor) has always been a place apart. While most of Indonesia, including
the western part of the island of Timor, had been a Dutch colony, East Timor
was claimed by the Portuguese. Shortly after the country gained independence
from Portugal in 1975, Indonesia invaded and a brutal occupation
ensued. For well over a decade the Revolutionary Front for an Independent East
Timor (Fretilin) fought a guerrilla war with the Indonesian army, who enacted
increasingly bloody crackdowns.
A UN-monitored referendum in 1999 saw 78% of the population vote for
independence, after which the Indonesian army and pro-Indonesia militias
drove hundreds of thousands of East Timorese into West Timor and wreaked havoc
on East Timor’s infrastructure. A UN peace-keeping force was sent in and in
2002 the country finally became independent. Today, a nascent tourist industry
is enticing visitors to discover its pristine beaches, rugged interiors, and
unique Portuguese-influenced culture.
Wrong Common
Knowledge
Bulls Hate the Color Red
Despite what you see in bullfighting, bulls
aren’t angered by the color red. In fact, they’re colorblind to red and green.
What actually makes them charge is the movement of the cape, not the color
itself.
Random Thoughts…
If you didn't have that voice in your head, you wouldn't be able to read this.
The best lies are the ones you can't Google.
Money can't buy happiness, but I'd rather cry in a Mercedes than in a box.
I hate it when I have no thoughts, and then all of a sudden I get too many for
the spam blocker.
