Thoughts for the day

Finally, the shutdown has ended.

I am happy that the shutdown has ended. I am happy that those Federal employees who have been off and are going to get paid and back to work. This never was the plan of our founding fathers. I must wonder how many wealthy working people would gladly show up for work, knowing that they may or not get paid for their work and with no idea how many days they would have to do that.

Here is another “don’t plan, just end the program and forget the consequences” of this administration. Trump has ended the US penny that has been around since 1792. The last penny was made yesterday. It cost 3.69 ¢ to make one penny. States have laws about rounding up or rounding down when there is no penny. There was no planning for this move. If an item is 31¢, does the seller round up or down so it is either 30¢ or 35¢. Where are the federal guidelines? There are none. Interestingly, the nickel costs 13¢ to make. Is the next coin we lose?

Animals From Native American Legends And What They Symbolize

Nature's Guidance in a Modern World

All these animal stories hold meaning for today's world. Even as life changes and technology grow, lessons about respect, teamwork, careful planning, and adapting to change still guide Native communities.

Honoring animals and their stories helps preserve cultural traditions, supports community strength, and teaches future generations to live in harmony with the earth and each other.

Animal wisdom continues to inspire and unite, no matter the age.

Boomers Were Forced to Memorize These Facts—And They’re All Useless Now…

The Tongue Has Separate Zones for Different Tastes

Remember that diagram in school showing taste bud “zones” for sweet, salty, sour, and bitter? Turns out, that’s completely wrong. Every part of the tongue can detect all tastes—it’s just that some areas are slightly more sensitive than others. Yet, for years, we had to memorize a map of taste zones that was nothing more than outdated pseudoscience. Who knew our tongues had been misrepresented all this time?

Random Thoughts…

Every word in every language started out as gibberish until one person convinced enough people that what they said was a real word.

There are half a million different occupations in the world, yet we pick our careers based on studying 10–15 subjects by age 18–21.

You may have once made a decision that saved your life without knowing it.

In every Olympic event, they should have an average person compete so we can have a point of reference and appreciate the athletes more.
