Today’s Thoughts

Good morning. I finally got my computer to work correctly again. Best Buy took several days, and it was ready. The problem was that Office didn’t reload so I was very limited in what I could do. I took it in this morning as soon as they opened, and the Geek Squad lady plugged it in and fixed it while I waited. It took a little over an hour to reload the Microsoft stuff. I still don’t have all my security software. but I can deal with that.

There were some cold times outside after my computer failed. The weather is warming up nicely.

The new year means prescription will need a co-pay until I reach my deductibles. All good, just a hassle when a mail script requires a co-pay and they don’t tell you for a couple of days. It is all good now.

Our President has been busy since my last post. I did attend the NO ICE rally in Flag last weekend. I remain concerned that ICE is not following the law. I am thankful that the horror in Minnesota and Oregon have not yet reached Flagstaff.

 

 

Trivia

This A Dagger I See Before Me?

When King Tut’s tomb was unearthed, researchers found an iron dagger that was still remarkably sharp thousands of years later. Having a sharp dagger is not strange in itself, but the dagger’s origin is quite mysterious. Scientists have tested the metal and determined it came from a meteorite, and the ancient Egyptians most likely didn’t have the technology to craft a weapon from meteorite debris.

As a result, it either came from another more advanced civilization or, as some are convinced, it might have been left behind by aliens.
