Today’s Reflection:
A great summer day with some possible rain later.
I had lunch with Andy and Faith. Good lunch, good conversation. We
had a good time. Our waiter is an NAU student from Lakota territory in South
Dakota. Nice guy.
The Daily Show celebrated 30 years on the air. I was a late comer
to the show but remain a great fan.
The war in Iran is becoming
a never-ending war. This is not what I thought would happen.
Historical events
Cool to know:
OMG
Previously
only known from the ‘90s jargon of internet
chatrooms, in the early 2000s, the earliest known use of the acronym
OMG was discovered in a letter written in 1917 to
future prime minister Winston Churchill by John Fisher, who had served as the British Royal Navy's First Sea
Lord during the early years of World War I.
Picture of the Day:
Boom Boom. “Cats are bumped on the wall suddenly. It was like
a cartoon, boom boom. Such a funny moment.” Kenichi Morinaga
The Cat category and overall winning image definitely has a cartoon
vibe. It’s as if these two were chasing one another, Tom and Jerry style,
only to collide, head-on, leading to two exaggeratedly compacted bodies. I
fully expect an accordion to play in the moments after this collision.
Tricky US Trivia:
Question: What
is the busiest airport in the U.S.?
Answer: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport
