Today’s Reflection:
The monsoon is maybe
taking a break for a couple of days. I’ll believe it when I see it.
In the Republican Primary
in AZ, The Far Right cleaned up. It will be an interesting vote in November.
My brother has a messed-up
lymph node in his neck. He is getting a biopsy today. Hoping for the best for
him.
About a week ago, I got
my new office chair. The instructions were not real clear and I could only get
about ½ of it assembled. Yesterday my young Hopi neighbor stopped by to see if
I needed anything done. After about 20 minutes, the chair was put together. He
took the Secretary chair I had been using to the upstairs office. I gave him $10
to get some snacks on his way back to Hopi Rez. Both of us were happy.
Historical events
Cool to know:
NOT!
It might have become a popular ‘90s
fad thanks to the Wayne's World movies, but there is a
written reference to tagging "not!" onto the end of sentences to
suddenly imply the complete opposite, since as far back as the mid 19th century-in none
other than the novels of George Eliot.
Writing in 1860, Eliot's Mill
on the Floss contains the line, "She would make a sweet,
strange, troublesome, adorable wife to some man or other, but he would never
have chosen her himself. Did she feel as he did? He hoped she
did-not."
