Fake news, or what was called propaganda, is not new. The French were told that when she heard the peasants had no bread to eat Marie Antoinette heartlessly said, "Let them eat cake." She did not say it. Another lady at another time did, but Marie still lost her head. We have had propaganda from the very beginning. It started when the serpent told Eve she could safely eat the apple. There is a line from an old song, be careful little ears what you hear. That is good advice.

It Sounds Better
My niece and I were trying to describe an older person. We were trying to find a nice way to say it. We didn't want to say old, elderly or senior citizen. Finally I came up with less young.

Blood drive
Be a hero. There is always someone who needs your blood. You could save up to three lives. You get free cookies. Sometimes your favorite. Isn't that nice.

Kitchen
I have a kitchen strip. It's not a real kitchen. It's kitchen décor. It's like a functional painting of a kitchen. There's no warmth about it. It's just a place to fix something to eat. It could be worst. I could just have a hot plate. Wouldn't that be fun?

I Have Questions
Can it be done? Can trash be broken down to its molecular level? Would it be costly? Would Bill Gates pay for it? Could we use these molecules for energy? Is this a completely crazy idea? Can anyone answer my questions?

Tumbler
I saw it on the internet. A tumbling spider. It lives in the Middle East. It has these long legs that just flop over and over. I thought it was just having fun, but I realized that tumbling is part of its strategy. When most people see a creepy crawling spider, they want to squash it or run away. If you see a spider somersaulting toward you, you think, oh how interesting. Then it flops on you and you are done. Taken in by a little spider.
Have a nice day.
Have a nice day.
