Wednesday, May 31, 2023 Partly Sunny Warm Slight Breeze 84 Degrees 4:30 p.m.
A beautiful day here. A bit on the warm side but nice with just the right breeze to be comfortable if one is outside doing yard work, playing or walking the dog. The dogs seem to enjoy the nice weather as they want to move faster then their two legged walking partner.
So far today, the big surprise was a huge turkey buzzard flying right in front of my windows, heading towards the street in front. His wing span was at least 8 feet if not more. When he landed Bill went out to see if it was an Eagle. It was a turkey buzzard. There was a road kill in the street that had attracted him. He not only came swooping in once, but twice. I have seen turkey buzzards plenty of times, but not close up with their wings spread out, flying! Right in front of my windows! When he went by my window he was probably 4 to 5 feet above the ground. And probably that far from the windows.
I had a Instagram message from a gentleman who, with his wife, go to the church we went to in Boulder city. He was mentioning that people who were born in the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, and even 70’s, have seen more changes then in any other century since the beginning. Some of the things he mentioned was going from phones that were party lines and an operator had to place long distance calls to the cell phone that is basically a hand held computer. Or an I-pad. There was so much more and yet there is still more that he didn’t mention in the long list that he put out. We have seen men walk on the moon, an we can fly anyplace in the world in a matter of minutes or hours depending where we want to go. Now there is space travel for citizens by private companies with space ships. All you need is good health and lots of money. We have robots and Artificial Intelligence, cloning, and all sorts of weird things. What we saw in comic books in the 49’s and 50’s have come into being a reality. What great inventions we are privileged to be able to use daily and think nothing of how, not to long ago, what we take for granted wasn’t even invented. How wonderful and awesome is that?!
Quote of the day: “There are two kinds of women who will pay big bucks for a makeup mirror that magnifies their faces. The first are the young models who need to be sure to cover every eyelash and define their lips. The second group are the women who, without their glasses, can’t even find their faces.” My calendar
Have a great rest of your Wednesday. think positive, enjoy every minute, be Thankful and make it a fun day.
