Thoughts for the day

The weather guy says there will be another break in the monsoon this week.

I headed to the carwash to get the dirt off my vehicle.

Several javelina and a few roadrunners have been spotted here at 7000’. I’ve lived around here for a long time. I have never heard of either being at this high altitude. The experts are saying this is due to Climate Change. Wow!

I keep hoping the world will find the peace we have here in our small town.

Myths from Medieval Times

"Prima Nocta" Did Not Exist

Prima nocta, also called droit de seigneur, was supposedly the legal right of a monarch or lord to date any peasant woman at any time, especially on her wedding night. The concept goes back to the Mesopotamian tale The Epic of Gilgamesh. However, scholars have not found any evidence that prima nocta existed.

Although the idea appears frequently in literature, there is no historical record of it. In the 19th century, French author Louis Veuillot claimed that "the Middle Ages had never heard of the droit du seigneur."

 Things That Worked Better Before They Were “Improved” by Technology

Board Games Without Batteries

Remember when family game night didn’t require charging anything or downloading updates? Classic board games relied on imagination and interaction rather than flashing lights and electronic sounds. They taught math, strategy, and social skills while creating memories that lasted far longer than any app-based game’s battery life.
