Today’s Reflection:
The dark clouds suggest more rain is on the way. That’s good news.
While the sun is shining, I hear thunder in the distance. WOW!
It was a good World Cup. The final game was totally Spain. It is
nice to know that 25% of the athletes were born in a different country that
they played for. Immigration is good.
Historical events
Cool to know:
LEGIT
Legitimate was first cut down to just
"legit" in 19th-century theatrical parlance, and was
originally used in reference to legitimate
drama (as opposed to less meritable farces and variety comedies).
Picture of the Day:
A mystical, mythical scene observed by Raoul Slater reveals an
interesting tidbit about life in rural Australia.
“Large areas of Australia are flat, dry, and given over to wheat
farming. Towns can consist of as little as a truck stop and a collection of
grain silos. In some locations, these silos have become popular palettes for
enormous murals, drawing tourists into otherwise desolate areas,” Slater
explains. “I passed through Yelarbon and stopped for two hours to photograph
the Galahs that are attracted to spilt grain. The results were so pleasing and
surreal that I made the seven-hour trip on a subsequent weekend to have another
go, only to find that a mouse plague had moved in and the silos were being
fumigated—no Galahs.”
