LEONARDO DA VINCI | Key West Lou

-


An distinctive tv expertise final evening. The PBS exhibiting of Leonardo Da Vinci, “The Disciple of Expertise.” Two hours of the most effective of the most effective.

It was not what I anticipated. I believed there could be extra about The Final Supper. The questions I raised yesterday about Mary Magdalene, a toddler, the wedding of Mary and Jesus, and so on. weren’t entertained. The very points raised in the course of the lectures I acquired first hand in my two visits to The Final Supper in Milan.

However, the presentation was dynamic. Excellent. I realized a lot extra about Da Vinci. His genius stunning. The intelligence he utilized to his work and sculptures.

The present continues this night with its last two hour presentation. I’m anxious to view it. I may have seen the second two hours final evening. Nevertheless, it was 10 o’clock and my eyes have been getting heavy.

Do your self a favor and watch the second half this night. Such a possibility is uncommon.

“4 rating and 7 years in the past…..” On this present day in 1863, Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Tackle.

St. Peter’s Basilica was consecrated this present day in 1626 in Rome. 

It turned the world’s largest Catholic Church. I can attest to the very fact. Have been lucky sufficient to have visited a number of instances. So massive, tiring to stroll round. Tons of alters. Plenty happening all day. When beat, I might go to one of many Plenty and sit. Did no less than part of three Plenty every day.

An fascinating piece of data follows. I write about it for a selected purpose which I’ll share on the finish of the subject.

The Third Modification of the U.S. Structure has by no means been argued in entrance of the U.S. Supreme Court docket. Let’s hope it by no means does.

It has seldom been used. By no means instantly. It’s the least litigated Modification within the Invoice of Rights. Final concerned within the federal appellate case Engblom v. Carey, 677 Fed.second 737, in 1983 the place nationwide guardsmen have been decided to be “troopers” throughout the which means of the Third Modification.

What the Modification is all about: The Third Modification forbids the federal government from forcing residents to deal with troopers of their non-public houses with out their consent throughout peace time.

I share the Third Modification with you in view of Trump’s plan to instantly act on eradicating invalid immigrants from U.S. soil. He’s speaking 0ne million plus and utilizing the army or nationwide guard to help. The quantity to be eliminated is huge. It should require an enormous variety of army to do the job. The place will they sleep? Not within the houses of non consenting U.S. residents!

Syngman Rhee was President of South Korea from 1948-1960. His tenure included the Korean Conflict. His grandson Thomas Rhee was my faculty roommate. He launched me to Korean cooking, a few of which I vehemently disliked.

Tom was exceptionally skinny and customarily sick with one factor or one other. I informed him it was so due to the meals he ate.

He didn’t get pleasure from my Italian meals. It was tit for tat.

It’s claimed William Inform shot an apple off his son’s head. The story questionable. If true, it occurred this present day in 1307.

Immediately in 1928 a giant one for Mickey Mouse! Walt Disney’s “Steamboat Willie” was launched. It was the primary Mickey Mouse sound cartoon.

Key West has been with out most cancers providers for a few years. A tragedy for these in want. I’ve a number of pals who’ve finished with out or traveled north for the fundamental consideration required to maintain them alive.

It has been introduced that Baptist Well being will open a brand new facility for most cancers therapy in Key West. Terrific! One drawback, nevertheless. It won’t be until the summer season of 2025.

Why so lengthy a wait? The necessity is fixed. It’s a “now” one. Many will undergo needlessly, journey lengthy distances for month-to-month care, or die with out it.

It’s nice Baptist Well being is opening a Key West facility for most cancers therapy. The issue once more is timing. Why can’t the Hospital do higher?

Get pleasure from your day!
