Mae we remember . . .
Saturday, April 19, 2025. It's the Satyrs day . . . and the weatherfeather indicates moderate Northerlies, thunderstorms and lots of rain for TulseyTown with cool 50's. Stormy conditions are in the forecasts especially tonight and until Sunday afternoon.
Much of our instinctive meanness comes from a deep-seated belief in scarcity: that success, beauty, or belonging is limited—that if someone else shines, it somehow dims our light. But that’s simply not true. There is enough success, happiness, and love to go around. It is, after all, a rather large Universe. Lifting others up doesn’t take anything away from you—it strengthens everyone. And we are all in this together.
Last night was the 250th anniversary of the lighting of the lanterns in Boston’s Old North Church which lit the way that became the American Revolutionary War. Paul REvere's famous ride followed as did the confrontation at Concord and Lexington, Heather Cox Richardson posted a detailed account in her Letters From An American. A good read that fills all the gaps left from our high school civics/history class.
Today is the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. The One newsletter at The University of Oklahoma posted a remembrance.
And, today in 1927 actress Mae West was sentenced to 10 days in prison for her starring role in the Broadway play Sex, which she also produced and directed. She spent 10 of those days in jail before an early release for almost predictable reasons.
