PRICE OF BANANAS DROP…..WOULD YOU BELIEVE?

-


I began my morning with the neurophysiotherapy. What a session! Grueling, however good! Good in what I hope it should do for me. 

Then to Publix to select up a couple of issues. I used to be shocked! The worth of one thing had dropped!

Bananas!

It’s possible you’ll assume no large deal. I eat one or two a day. So I purchase weekly. The worth has been a gentle $.71 a pound for no less than a 12 months. Each week I look ahead to the worth to go up as the whole lot else has. This morning was a shock. The worth of 1 pound of bananas had dropped 10 cents. Now $.61 a pound.

I purchased a few further bananas.

My intent this morning was to say that the worth of Campbell soups have shot up dramatically in a single 12 months. I drink a number of soup. What was much less then one greenback a can a couple of 12 months in the past, is now $2 plus. Evaluating that improve to the banana lower, the banana lower ought to have dropped to $.35 a pound.

A particular TV present this night. To not be missed. PBS is working a two hour present starting at 8 pm titled “Leonardo da Vinci.”

God has been good to me in lots of respects. I’ve twice seen da Vinci’s The Final Supper. In Milan on the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Really, the basement of what was initially a Catholic Church. Excessive ceilings.

Da Vinci painted maybe his best work on a stone wall. The portray course of known as tempera. The portray is very large: 15 toes x 29 toes.

When The Final Supper is seen, a lecture accompanies it. So fascinating! There’s a shade close to the Apostle John. Is it Mary Magdalene? She seems to be holding what may be described within the shadow a toddler. Is it the kid of Jesus and Mary? Had been they married?

I have no idea if this stuff will likely be lined on the PBS present. They had been lined within the lectures. If that’s the case, You might be in for a journey!

That is artists’ day.

One of many world’s best trendy sculpturers died November 17, 1917 on the age of 77. Auguste Rodin.

His “nice works” embody “The Thinker,” “The Kiss,” and “The Gates of Hell.” I used to be lucky to view every a couple of time whereas on mortgage exhibit from a Paris museum to the Metropolitan Museum of Artwork in New York Metropolis.

“The Thinker” and “The Kiss” shifting. Every in its personal sense unique. The perfect from my perspective was “The Gates of Hell.” Tiny people combating to flee Hell. Ache and struggling distinct in each face. Emotional to view!

I remained in yesterday. Involved about my again. Laid round doing nothing.

At present will be the similar. I did my physio, procuring and a few banking. Rather a lot for me in a brief time frame. Will most likely stay in the remainder of the day.

The Titanic continues to carry fascination. 

An public sale was held this week re the gold pocket watch given to the ship captain who rescued 700 survivors from the Titanic. The watch bought at public sale for almost $2 million. The watch an 18 carat Tiffany one.

It was given by three survivors. One Mrs. John Jacob Astor. Two different rich lady joined her in making the present. All three had been saved by Captain Robert Rostron of the passenger ship Carpathia which hurried to the sinking Titanic scene. It was darkish and chilly. The Titanic had already sunk. The 700 survivors had been huddled in lower than sufficient garments in life boats. They’d have frozen to demise had Captain Rostron not modified course and hurried to them.

Keep in mind “Tom Dooley?” Nice music with an incredible lyric.

In November 1958, the Kingston Trio’s “Tom Dooley” hit #1 on the Billboard pop chart. I recall their singing the music effectively. I used to be in my first 12 months of legislation college on the time.

An instance of madness. Pure and easy.

The 918 individuals who died in a mass homicide suicide in Jonestown, Guyana, at the present time in 1978. The group was led of their deaths by the cult group Peoples Temple founder Jim Jones. They drank the drink. They drank a poison laced punch. A 3rd who perished had been youngsters.

Sick!

This one bothers me. I take heed to Morning Joe each morning. I begin with the 5 am portion which introduces them at 6. This morning Joe and Mika, with broad smiles, introduced that they had met friday with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. They kissed the ring!

Mika mentioned it had been 7 years since that they had talked. They each indicated it was time to “bury the hatchet” and “restart communications.”

Really, they started the method of overlaying their asses. They’ve been anti-Trump for years. Trump has sworn to get media figures who had been in opposition to him as a part of his retribution program.

I can’t blame Joe and Mika wanting to guard their enterprise pursuits. Nevertheless, one thing rubs me incorrect right here.

Obtained an electronic mail from Fran Dixon yesterday. They had been in St. Thomas. She mentioned it had been raining and thundering all morning.

Steve and Cindy are again! Missed them!

Steve knocked on my door at midnight of the night final evening. We chatted some time. Nice journey!

He mentioned the whole lot I had informed him about Greece was true. From Athens to Santorini to Mykonos to different islands. Folks nice! Meals terrific! Every little thing low cost! Aside from Mykonos. He was not significantly thrilled with Mykonos. Neither had I been on my 3 visits. A late evening younger peoples’ city. Every little thing will get going at 11 within the night. I used to be at all times asleep by then as Steve was. The opposite factor was vacationers had been gouged. The one place I ever skilled it in Greece additionally. Every little thing increased than excessive.

Take pleasure in your day!
