Thoughts for the day
Another nice fall day.
Mental illness is a serious problem in the US. I just read an article and
found that Arizona is 18th and Colorado is 12th in the
worst mental health states. Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota are the top 3
with the worst mental health.
I enjoyed watching Keeping up Appearances on PBS. Sadly, Dame
Patricia Routledge on that show has passed at 96. RIP.
Have a great weekend.
Bucket-List
Destinations That Were Once No-Go Zones
Cambodia
The Khmer Rouge only ruled Cambodia from 1975 to
1979, but in that short time, approximately two million people lost their
lives. Their brutal leader Pol Pot declared the nation would start again at
‘Year Zero,’ emptying the cities, abolishing money, private property, and
religion, and forcing everyone to work on rural collectives. Anyone considered
'intellectual' was executed, while others died of starvation, disease, and
overwork when the social experiment inevitably failed. The country is littered
with ‘killing fields,’ where the victims were buried in mass graves.
The regime ultimately collapsed when neighboring Vietnam invaded, establishing
an occupation that would last a decade. The Vietnamese withdrew in 1989
and in the years since, Cambodia has become a popular tourist attraction,
thanks particularly to the stunning Khmer ruins at Angkor Wat. Reminders remain
of the terrible times under Pol Pot, including the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum
and the Memorial Stupa, both in the capital city of Phnom Penh. One of the most
significant killing fields can be found at Wat Thmey near Siem Reap.
Historical Events
Turning Major Anniversaries in 2025
1775 Lexington and Concord, 250 Years
On April 19, 1775, militia met British regulars
at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts, starting the American Revolution.
Minute Man National Historical Park marks the 5-mile Battle Road Trail between
Concord and Lexington. The North Bridge site commemorates the “shot heard round
the world.” Spring reenactments use black powder under strict permits, not live
rounds. If you go, stay behind ropes and read fire safety signs. The 250th
brings extra crowds, so arrive early and use official parking lots near visitor
centers.
Random Thoughts…
I fear the day Facebook decides to inform users of who has viewed their
profile...and how many times.
Before smart phones I never knew how much slime I had on my fingertips.
You can rub the inside of banana skin on mosquito bites to stop the itching.
The concept of absolutely nothing is far more mind-boggling than the concept of
infinity.
