Today’s Thoughts
A really nice winter day. Sunshine and warm.
After the recent maintenance, my vehicle is running very well. I am also
impressed as they not only washed my vehicle after the service, they also vacuumed
and wiped down the interior…great service for sure.
I had lunch with Andy and Faith. We went to a new place, a former Coco’s
now The Porch. Nice ambiance, very good food, and good conversation. A few days
ago, Andy rolled out of bed and sliced his ear lobe on corner table. He is fine
but had to get 7 stitches in his ear lobe. Faith said the ER staff were great.
They sewed him up, did a cat scan to be sure he hadn’t injured his brain, and
sent him home. Now they are headed to Phoenix to celebrate Kayla’s birthday.
Our politics remains a little chaotic. The State of the Union address is
over, but the media continues to keep analyzing it. It is boring. I want to
hear more about Iran, more about Epstein and the hearings, and less of the
speech.
The AIA [Arizona Interscholastic Association] is in trouble over fan
reactions last weekend. AIA has banned Coolidge teams for participating after
poor fan behavior during a weekend game against a Reservation team. At many
games, on and off the reservations, are interrupting games with loud shouting
against teams and refs. It is time to remember that games are for the athletes
to show their skill and for spectators to enjoy the game. This poor fan behavior
must be stopped.
Historic Trivia
Random
Side Interests
When
he wasn’t busy fighting wars and serving as the Emperor of France, Napoleon
Bonaparte found the time to write a
romance novel, called Clisson et Eugénie. Because why not?
The Great Debate
Some
scientists still argue the facts about whether corn is a vegetable or a
grain—or maybe even a fruit! Who would have thought that something so harmless
could cause such a controversy?
Real
Men Wear Skirts
Ancient Greek men didn't wear trousers, and they thought men from other cultures who wore them were barbaric and effeminate.
