Today’s
Reflection:
Another great weather day
here. No complaints.
Yesterday’s photo shoot at the hacienda was a success. It took
4-1/2 hours and the director was facetiming from London. Gotta love modern
technology. The director has a site with over 650,000 followers so this shoot
will get lots of views and hopefully some visitors.
I grew up learning a pneumonic device for learning the names of the
Great Lakes: HOMES. Now that Trump has renamed it Lake America, it’s time for
another pneumonic device to remember. The new one: SHAME!
I grew up with Lori and Lisa Eckhardt. Today is Lori’s 70th
birthday. She is doing well and is going on a river cruise in Croatia in a
couple of weeks to celebrate her birthday. Nice. Lisa and her boyfriend Jerry
are currently on vacation in Europe. Cool.
Is it a good sign when the civilian Sec. of the Army resigns while
the US is at war? Probably not.

Colorado Wildlife:
Living with Bats
There are 18 species of
bat that call Colorado home. These amazing mammals are not only fantastic
insect control, but are also valuable pollinators. Learn more about how humans
and bats can live in harmony in our guide.
Picture of the
Day:
Four times more people
speak English as a second language than as a native one.
While more people speak
English as a second language,
nearly three times more people speak Mandarin Chinese natively.
English has nearly two
billion people learning it as a second language and only 350 million people
speaking it natively.
Great Photos:
AP Caption: Students of Central H igh School in Little Rock, including Hazel Bryan, shout insults at Elizabeth Eckford as she calmly marches down to a line of National Guardsmen, who blocked the main entrance and would not let her enter.
