Thoughts for
the day
I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving. I have so many things to be
thankful for.
I have some ups and downs, but overall I am doing great.
Flag is still having great weather. Overnight lows are much more than
chilly. Daytime highs are much more than chilly. Hmmm.
A volcano erupted in NE Ethiopia after a 12,000year-old silence. There
have been no casualties, but the plume of smoke is harming the environment and
cattle in the small isolated villages. So sad.
Kilauea’s Hawaii volcano may have a major eruption before Nov. 28.
Sec. Hegseth is planning on stopping military support of Scouting
America, formerly the Boy Scouts due to their DEI commitments. This man needs to go find a job he can do.
At the Hacienda, my brother and his wife are preparing to feed 100 paying
guests with a meal made by some of best-known chefs in Yucatan. Then on Friday,
a ‘leftovers’ dinner for another 30+
people. He sent me a video of the prep. I’m happy for them. I’m sure both will be another great success.
History that is not true…
World War I was the deadliest
war in history in its time
It seems entirely intuitive
that the first-ever 'world war' would be bigger and bloodier than any that
came before. The conflict, which set large swaths of the world ablaze between
1914 and 1918, pitted Jamaicans against Turks, Kenyans against
Germans, and Bulgarians against Brits.
Nicknamed 'the great war' and
'the war to end all wars', World War I claimed 15 to 22 million lives, and
only nine countries managed to remain neutral throughout. How could any
regional or continental conflict compete with a war that touched every corner
of the globe?
In fact, when the armistice was
signed on 11 November 1918, it brought to an end only the second deadliest
conflict in history, and the deadliest was not only regional – it was
fought entirely within one country.
The Taiping Rebellion – a
complex conflict between the revolutionary Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the
ruling Qing Dynasty – brought unfathomable destruction to China
between 1850 and 1864. Battles and massacres killed many, but plague and famine
killed many more, and analysts estimate a death toll of up to 30 million. Both
conflicts would be put firmly in the shade by World War II, with a death
toll anywhere from 40 to 85 million.
Myths people still believe about
Native Americans…
Native tribes had princesses like European
royalty
The Indian princess is a Hollywood creation, and
most Native peoples lacked kings and queens. Other tribes elected leaders
based on merit or wisdom, and some of them had clan mothers or councils.
The princess archetype diminishes Native women
as a source of exotic love and ignores their actual existence as leaders,
warriors, and decision-makers.
Random Thoughts…
If
24-hour clocks started at 23:59 and counted down till 00:01, people might try
getting more done.
There
should be an optional “people are sleeping” button on the microwave to stop all
the extra loud beeping.
The word
“fat” just looks like someone took a bite out of the word “eat.”
Whoever
created the tradition of not seeing the bride in the dress before the wedding
saved husbands everywhere from hours of dress shopping.
