Screwworm cases are not to be taken lightly. Screwworms eat human flesh.
Their cases have taken hold in Texas and New Mexico. Many feel federal and state governments are not doing enough to counter the problem.
The screwworms have already traveled 1,100 miles between Texas and New Mexico.. More needs to be done to counter the danger. Otherwise two states will become several and then more.
The number 13 is considered unlucky in many Western Cultures. Many persons have a deep rooted fear of the number 13. It is called Triskaidekaphobia.
I would be afraid of anything with a name that large!
Eighty five percent of elevators do not have a 13th floor. Few airlines have a row 13. Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky day by most. The Last Supper had 13 persons – the 12 Apostles plus Jesus Christ.
The fighter’s Michelle Obama comment: “Michelle is a man.” Her husband Barrack’s retort: She was “doing the right thing. Raising a family.”
Obama’s speech Thursday at the grand opening of his Presidential Center in Chicago was beautiful. Befitted the event.
Kitchens 100 years ago included an “icebox,” not an electric refrigerator. A firm box with an enclosed space at the top for a block of ice to be left. The iceman came once a week with the ice block and put it in the “icebox” as the whole unit was called.
I remember distinctly the ice man coming up to our third floor apartment when I was young carrying the heavy block of ice which ended up in the ice box. It dripped cool water for a whole week to preserve whatever was inside.
Pancakes are older than you think. They were prepared and consumed by our prehistoric ancestors. Began with the ancient Greeks and Romans.
Bread is an extremely old food. Predates even agriculture. Goes back 14,400 years.
The movie “Jaws” was released in 1975. My family and I saw it while vacationing on Cape Cod. A scarry film!
Later while sleeping, I dreamed the shark was at my throat. I sat up with a start and grabbed at my throat. It was not Jaws. It was one of those large beach bugs. Fearful enough, however!
Trump time.
Trump said Italy’s Prime Minister Georgia Mebri “begged” for a picture with him. An attractive lady. She said Trump’s story is “completely fabricated.”
Who do you believe? I believe the Prime Minister. A well respected woman and leader. Trump lies too much to be believed about anything.
The Reflecting Pool was painted blue. Now big time green. A major algae attack. Gallons of hydrogen peroxide are being dumped in the water to correct the problem.
Good job, Donald! You screwed up another job you thought was a piece of cake and you knew what you were doing.
Foul mouth Donald Trump. The name fits. He referred to Barack Obama as “a stupid son of a bitch” on live TV.
At one time, Trump mocked Obama’s Harvard law degree. Obama retorted: Education is a tool, prepares people to compete in a competitive world. Obama reflected that education unquestionably creates that opportunity to so compete. Obama received a standing ovation for his responsive comment.
It is possible that Israel may undermine the U.S./Iran Peace Agreement.
Trump arrived at one of the G7 meetings late. As he walked in, he said to the group: “I’m the Boss.” In his mind only. No more. He blew the position months ago.
A “coverup?” What is the Kennedy Center hiding behind those tarps? A disregard of a Supreme Court Order?
My yesterday involved visits by two different nurses. One for my butt which is still healing. The other a physio therapist. I am making progress with both. Getting better, though slowly. It has to be my age which makes recovery of any medical problem take forever.
I ordered a small air conditioner the other day. I need it! My present air conditioning is failing me from mid afternoon to early evening. The heat too much for it. Wish it would hurry and arrive!
Enjoy your day!
