Today’s Thoughts
A nice spring day and no wind.
I had lunch with Faith and Andy. We ate at Olive Garden. We hadn’t been
there in a few years. Food was good, and the conversation was great. Andy’s
sister is in assisted living here. That keeps them busy helping her out.
I seem to have crossed into health again. I feel much better, and food is
starting to taste good again. Bronchitis is no joke for us older people.
The politics in this country has become very difficult to follow. Media
keeps giving too many different views of the exact same event. Get Real!
Science Fact of the Day
Comb Ducks spend most of their time
alone or in small groups, but they can sometimes be found in large flocks, too.
They also get along well with other species of waterfowl and regularly roost in
mixed-species flocks.

Native American Courage in History
The Zuni Revolt And The Fight Against Spanish Colonization
The Zuni Revolt of 1680, part of the broader Pueblo Revolt,
represented a critical moment of resistance against Spanish colonization. Along
with other Pueblo tribes, the Zuni rose to reclaim their lands and cultural
practices, successfully forcing the Spanish to retreat for a time, which marked
a powerful stand for Native sovereignty.
