Today’s Thoughts

Another nice winter day. Love the sunshine and warmth.

More pictures from Dubai, so sad.

I wonder if Trump considered what his attack would do to the gas prices in the US. I’m watching them closely and am sure they will rise a lot.

My birthday was very nice as I look to another great year ahead. 

Historic Trivia

Eat Your Vegetables

During WWII, British intelligence spread the rumor that the Royal Air Force pilots enjoyed superior night vision because they ate copious amounts of carrots. The real purpose of the rumor was to keep German intelligence from discovering the Brits’ advanced use of radar. Of course, there's just one little problem.

The fact is, while vitamin A in carrots is good for eye health, it probably won’t help you detect enemy forces in the dark from an airplane.

 

The Perfect Mate
