Thoughts for the day
It looks like it is going to be a wet weekend. Lots of moisture from a
tropical storm in the Pacific. Yes!
I had my annual vision dilation this morning. All is good with no change to
my script. Yes!
Pam Bondi, AG, is still getting negative comments about her oversight
hearing yesterday. No sympathy from me as I found her rude, uninformative, and
sometimes just plain mean.
There was an expected storm on Mount Everest last week that put almost 1000
hikers in danger. The good news is that those great sherpas have rescued all
those hikers. Good job.
Bucket-List
Destinations That Were Once No-Go Zones
Bhutan
Bhutan is the quintessential hermit kingdom, cut
off from the rest of the world for centuries and fiercely protective of its
culture and traditions. It sits high in the Himalayas, tucked between
China and India, and maintains a heavy emphasis on peace and harmony measured
as Gross National Happiness. When tourists were finally let in during the 1970s
it was under the strictest of conditions. The administrative challenges of
visiting were immense, and in 1974 only 287 tourists were allowed into the country.
Between 2012 and 2016 the number of visitors to the kingdom increased by 24%,
but Bhutan retains a strong sense of its own identity. There are no traffic
lights, government employees must wear traditional clothing (a gho robe for men
and kira dress for women) during work hours and watching TV was only
reluctantly allowed in 1999. Those lucky enough to visit must pay a hefty daily
fee, but the rewards are immense: breathtaking natural scenery, extraordinary
Buddhist temples and a culture in which centuries-old traditions are still
a part of everyday life.

1925 Scopes Trial, 100 Years
From July 10 to July 21, 1925, the Scopes
“Monkey Trial” in Dayton, Tennessee tested a state law that banned teaching
evolution. John T. Scopes was found guilty and fined $100, later overturned on
a technicality. The Rhea County Courthouse still hosts exhibits with the
original courtroom seats. Signs ask visitors to avoid touching railings and
displays. The case shows how textbooks, laws, and science standards meet in one
room. It also explains how appeals can change outcomes years after a verdict.
Random Thoughts…
If people didn't
find babies adorable, the human race would probably cease to exist.
Your lap only exists when you sit down. when you stand up its not a lap
anymore.
I hate that awkward moment when somebody is doing dishes and you slowly put
another dish in the sink.
Think about it; To survive you don't have to be faster than a bear... Just your
fellow campers
