Proverbs chapter 4 - This is about exercising your spiritual heart. "To keep spiritually fit, consult the Great Physician."
On this day: 1975
I took my friend Jan down to the Masonic Temple to pick up tickets for something she was attending. Think about that. I lived in Birmingham at the time and drove her all the way downtown to pick up tickets. First of all, gas was much cheaper, we all had twice as many hours in the day as now, then drove her out to Sterling Hts where she lived. But the big one is THERE WAS NOT INTERNET then, you couldn't order them on line, omigosh, how inconvenient!
| In 1937, the hydrogen-filled German dirigible Hindenburg burned and crashed in Lakehurst, N.J., killing 36 of the 97 people on board. Parenting - At book club last night we discussed a book, I didn't read, but will. What parent allows their 14 or 15 year old daughter go out of state to find work? I guess it was allowed back in the early 1900, when jobs were hard to find. These particular girls found work at Radium Dial in Chicago. The name of the book in Radium Halo. It is a human interest read about how we will risks lives in unsafe working conditions to obtain money. Book Club - Mornings on Horseback by David McCullough. I am enjoying this book and the progress Teedie makes as a child to the great hunter he became. Venezuela - Lets get our history straight: [edit] In 1499, an expedition led by Alonso de Ojeda visited the Venezuelan coast. The stilt houses in the area of Lake Maracaibo reminded the navigator Amerigo Vespucci of the city of Venice, so he named the region "Veneziola".[19] The name acquired its current spelling as a result of Spanish influence,[19] where the suffix -uela is used as a diminutive term (e.g., plaza / plazuela, cazo / cazuela); thus, the term's original sense would have been that of a "little Venice".[20] The German term for the area, "Klein-Venedig", also means little Venice (literally "small Venice"). Nonetheless, although the Vespucci story remains the most popular and accepted version of the origin of the country's name, a different reason for the name comes up in the account of Martín Fernández de Enciso, a member of the Vespucci and Ojeda crew. In his work Summa de geografía, he states that they found an indigenous population who called themselves the "Veneciuela", which suggests that the name "Venezuela" may have evolved from the native word.[21] Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! |
