Today’s Thoughts
Another door and windows open spring day. Can be a little windy.
I had 2 small cavities filled this morning. Easy and even better with
good dental insurance. It took a little time, but I now see that he is a great
dentist, knows his stuff, and has a very good staff. Glad I found him.
I was saddened to hear that QB Craig Morton, a hall of fame Bronco,
passed at 83. He was a great asset to my team for years.
I hope that Trump’s visit to China helps mend our relationship with them.
The people of China are amazing and visiting there was a highlight in my travel
journeys.
Science Fact of the Day
Komodo
Dragons can briefly reach speeds of 10 – 13 mph while hunting, however, their
main hunting strategy isn’t based on speed. Instead, these formidable creatures
rely on stealth and power to catch prey. After launching an attack, they use
their keen sense of smell to locate their prey after it has died from their
venomous bite (which can sometimes take several days).

Native American Courage in History
The Occupation Of Alcatraz Island And The
Fight For Native Rights
In 1969, a group of Native American
activists occupied Alcatraz Island and protested the U.S. government’s failure
to honor treaties and the lack of Native American rights. The 19-month
occupation brought national attention to Indigenous issues, catalyzing a modern
Native rights movement and symbolizing the fight for sovereignty.
