Thoughts for the day

My computer issues seems to be over. Microsoft fixed whatever it was. I must say I felt a little lost without my desktop, but I survived with my phone and iPad.

Bad Bunny will be the headliner act at the Super Bowl. Remember, his is a citizen of Puerto Rico and therefore is an American citizen. Yes, he sings in Spanish and English because that is who he is.

Scammers have stolen $580,000 from our local school district. The district says they are hopeful of getting the money back. Good Luck.

RIP Jane Goodall, the phenomenal lady who studied chimpanzee behavior for decades. She taught us a lot. She lived 91 years.

The leaders of the military met in DC yesterday. Forget that this meeting was unprecedented. Forget the millions it cost to bring them all to DC. The leaders sat in the room, no emotion, no clapping, no response…just as they have been taught during their decades of leadership. Now their hard work begins. How to implement the new procedures Trump and Hegseth want. I’m not familiar with how they implement verbal orders with no guidance. There was no dialogue, just rambling ideas… This may turn out to be a negative experience for the administration.

Bucket-List Destinations That Were Once No-Go Zones

Karosta, Latvia

Karosta is a former Russian Imperial and Soviet naval base on the Baltic Sea in modern-day Liepaja in Latvia. It was built between 1890 and 1906 by Tsar Alexander III of Russia, and during the Soviet period served as a base for the Soviet Baltic Fleet. It became a closed military town, one of the most secretive in the Soviet Union. It was off-limits to everyone, including the people of Liepaja just a couple of miles away, who often came to the beach at Karosta to forage for amber that washed up on shore.


When Latvia gained independence in 1991 the Soviet army left Karosta, and parts of the city fell to ruin. Today, it has become an unlikely tourist attraction and a haven for artists. The military prison has been converted into a hotel and wedding space. The impressive Russian Orthodox Naval Cathedral, used as a gym and cinema during Soviet times, is holding services again. And graffiti artists have turned the old fort buildings crumbling into the sea into affecting canvases.

 

 Wrong Common Knowledge

Napoleon Was Short

Napoleon’s height has been exaggerated for centuries, but in reality, he was about 5’6” or 5’7” – pretty average for his time. The confusion comes from differences in French and British measuring systems, which led to the false idea that he was unusually short.

Random Thoughts…

I'm not really a quiet person... You just don't deserve my knowledge.


Problem about doing nothing - you can't tell if you're done yet.


Admit it everyone has tried to do a task before the microwave timer ended.

Cell phones ruined pushing people in the pool.


Whenever you are biting down on something always remember, you are actually biting up.
