Today’s Thoughts

It’s a nice winter day. Lots of blue sky and sun.

I took my vehicle for a car wash to get rid of the dirt from the last few storms.

I was reading about the lowest recorded temps. 1/7/72 was Harley Lake, AZ @-40° and 2/1/85 Maybell, CO @ -61°. I sure appreciate a mild winter.

I did not expect to wake up on my birthday to learn that the US has attacked Iran. More disturbing is that dear leader did not develop a coalition of countries before the strike and that diplomatic negotiations were occurring at the time of the attack. If my history memory is correct, that is what Japan did while attacking Pearl Harbor and we know how that attack turned out. 

Historic Trivia

Luck of the Draw

In 1911, a Paris orphanage held a raffle where the prize was live human babies. Now that's a dark fact. 

Ferocious Females

When armadillos mate, the female armadillo can postpone her pregnancy until she feels she is in a safe, nurturing environment for her little one. And all this can be done with no harm to the little unborn critter, who stays (presumably) blissfully unaware. It's an adaption known as “delayed implantation". No more babies by accident!

mmm, Random BBQ Smell

If you could breathe in space without dying, it would in fact smell like barbecue, gunpowder, and diesel. These combined scents are created by dying stars.
