Today’s Thoughts
It feels more like a spring day than a winter day. Nice!
I got a needed pedicure this morning. My feet feel great now.
I wish that the current administration took more time to analyze the
information from Iran. Just like all Christians do not have the same beliefs,
the Muslim world have several denominations. The Shi’a are leading Iran, while
Egypt and others are Sunnie. Lumping them together as ‘Muslim’ is the same as lumping
LDS, Roman Catholic, and Jehovah Witnesses as the same ‘Christians’. I would
add that the leaders of Iran are zealots and must be worked with as such. These
zealots are not afraid to die, because they believe they will be greeted in the
afterlife as martyrs. If one believes life is precious, it is very difficult to
work with someone who does not believe that. When I was in high school learning
about WWII, I never really understood Kamikaze pilots for that very reason.
Common Saying’s Origin
Dead ringer
A "dead ringer" originated in 19th-century
American horse racing, when a horse racing under a fake name was called a
ringer, and dead meant exact. Today a dead ringer is an exact copy
or resemblance.
Up the river
To go "up the river" means to go to prison. It originally referred to prisoners sent to Sing-Sing Prison, about 30 miles up the Hudson River from New York City.
