Thoughts for
the day
It’s already November…can’t believe it. I’m still having great weather.
I’ve been aware of immigration since my young days. A great family friend
fought in WWII, got a British girl pregnant. It took forever for the family to
unite here after the war. I remember my parents attending Marjorie’s ceremony
when she became an American citizen in the mid 1950’s. When I did my student
teaching in Broomfield, many of my students were the children of migrant
workers. Through out all that, it was obvious that the Republican Party did not
like much of anything dealing with immigration. In Broomfield I heard staff
discussing that no one should waste much time trying to help the migrant
children, as they would be leaving when the crops had been harvested.
While many were surprised by VP Vance’s comment about legal immigrants
did not surprise me…even when his wife is from an immigrant family. He
suggested that there has to be a ‘common identity’ (assimilation) of the outdated
melting pot theory over the ‘salad bowl’. So sad.
When I came to Flag in the early 1970’s, the Museum Club was the go-to
bar here. It was owned by a family that had ties to the mafia. It had been a
museum before they bought it. They did keep some of the stuffed animals from
the museum days. It was bought a few years ago but still remained a nice place
for country music. Yesterday there was an auction of all the remaining items
from the bar that closed last month. I wonder what will happen to the nice
building.
Animals From Native American Legends
And What They Symbolize
Bear ©Canva - zizar2002
Bears are powerful helpers in many tribal
traditions, often called upon for healing and strength. Watching a bear's
winter hibernation taught people lessons about taking time to rest and renew.
In ceremonies, the bear's spirit is used for
help in healing or facing hardship. The bear's reputation for courage,
survival, and profound wisdom has symbolized power and gentle care throughout
Native cultures.
Boomers Were Forced to Memorize These
Facts—And They’re All Useless Now…
Pluto Is the Ninth
Planet in the Solar System. ©Image license via iStock
For years, teachers
drilled into our heads that Pluto was the ninth planet. We had to memorize the
order of the planets, and Pluto proudly sat at the end. Then, in 2006,
scientists decided Pluto didn’t make the cut and demoted it to a “dwarf
planet.” Just like that, all those school lessons became outdated. And while
Pluto still holds a special place in our hearts, it turns out we didn’t
really need to memorize it after all. (Source: Library of Congress)
Random Thoughts…
When you lose
something, I hate it when they ask me where I lost it, IF I KNEW, I WOULDN'T
HAVE LOST IT.
3d Printers can print 3d printers.
When you look up on an open sky it looks like you’re in a dome with the clouds watching you.
Now that I think about it, a push-pop is nothing more than crappy ice cream in
a toilet paper roll.
