May 27, 2023 a thought for today, The eyes can do a thousand things that the fingers can't. Persian Proverb
This has been a day full of popup happenings. Bob has a medial profile program that we have had trouble accessing....forgotten passwords, kind of thing. So I spent some time researching and studying the problem and found the glitch. Now we have access.
Sweet Pea and I had just gotten back from the curbside pick up and the fellow we have gotten to mow the lawn came to the door. He was supposed to do the lawn tomorrow but asked if he could do it today. Sue and I were trying to make sure all the batteries were charged for the equipment he will need. The last battery finished charging just before I left for the store.
My granddaughter and two of the great grand children are coming by for a visit about one o’clock so I wanted to have all the groceries put up and have a little time to visit with them. That’s done.
Bob is still having medical tests. He is at the James right now and because of the holiday he will have to stay for a few more days. They don’t do the tests he needs on weekends and holidays.
The word for today is outside/out. You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength, Marcus Aurelius. No one outside ourselves can rule us inwardly. When we know this, we become free, Gautama Buddha. A world of facts lies outside and beyond the world of words, Thomas Huxley. Adventure is not outside man; it is within, George Eliot. Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. Ralph Waldo Emerson. Joy can only be real if people look upon their life as a service and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness. Leo Tolstoy. Education is our only political safety. Outside of this ark all is deluge. Horace Mann. If I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher. I will pick out the good points of the one and imitate them, and the bad points of the other and correct them in myself. Confucius. The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it. Thucydides. Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out. Benjamin Franklin. You may drive out nature with a pitchfork, yet she'll be constantly running back. Horace.. Sunlight fell upon the wall; the wall received a borrowed splendor. Why set your heart on a piece of earth, O simple one? Seek out the source which shines forever. Rumi.
One place in Columbus that of great interest to science minded folks and kids is COSI. This is another bit of history about it. It all started with a trip to Chicago in 1957 and a visit to the Museum of Science and Industry there. Back in Columbus a proposal was written to begin a Center of Science and Industry here in Columbus. It all happened with a “coming together of personalities and circumstances”.The idea was presented to the Franklin County Historical Society in 1961. At about the same time the Memorial Hall, 280 E. Broad Street, was in need of revitalization. Funds were raised to do the remodeling. COSI came into being as a result of the renovations. In the remodeling a second floor was added to the building. New lighting was added in the lobby and a cyclorama wall “featuring a quote from astronaut John Glenn” was added. It was opened to the public in 1964 to over 5,000 guests at 50 cents admission. In 1999 it was moved to 333 West Broad Street. Since then there have been 33 million visitors from all 50 states and numerous foreign countries.” As further recognition: “while COSI is no stranger to local and national laurels, a recent nomination may be the crown jewel of them all. On April 14, the local attraction announced it had been named a finalist by The Institute of Museum and Library Services named for a 2023 National Medal OG Museum and Library Service, then quoted as “the nation’s highest federal honor.”’
I think I am making taco salad for dinner tonight.
