Today’s Thoughts
It’s hard to believe it is still winter. Weather is great.
It continues to appear that this administration did not fully analyze the
pros and cons of dropping bombs in Iran. Yesterday it was announced that Iran
had begun a cyberattack against us. A medical tech company that works on government
grants said that all of their company issued smartphones had been erased back
to their original factory settings. This is why highly specialized government
employees who protect us should not have been fired. Without many of them, we
are unprotected.
Real Hoaxes
In 2009, Americans watched live
TV coverage of a silver balloon drifting across the skies of Colorado,
fearing that a six-year-old boy was trapped inside. The story gripped the
nation for hours.
When the balloon finally landed
empty, police discovered the child hiding safely at home. His parents later
admitted it was a publicity stunt gone wrong.
*****************
In 1842, showman P. T. Barnum
unveiled a marvel: a preserved "mermaid" supposedly from the
South Seas. Crowds lined up to see the half-fish, half-woman curiosity.
The truth was stranger still. It was the upper body of a monkey sewn onto a fish tail and covered in papier-mâché.
