THIS N THAT

You've heard of the Queen of Sheba - well, do you know where Sheba is?  Didn't think you did.  In the Hebrew Bible, she visited Jerusalem carrying untold riches, slaves and big-time hullabaloo.  We're pretty sure Sheba was the land we now call Yemen.  Still lost?  It's on the end of the Arabian Peninsula between Oman, Saudi Arabia, The Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.     

 

This is for the city folks:  Cows have four good teats on their udder - many have a fifth useless teat.

Yaks and Alpacas also have a four teat udder.  Female goats just have two teats while a sow can have 12 to 16 teats.  Dogs usually have  8 - 10 and cats 8 teats.  The horse, technically, has two utters with one teat each.  I'm sure many of you were wondering about this.

 

Writer Harper Lee published her famous and wildly successful novel To Kill A Mockingbird in 1960 at the age of 34.  She died in 2016 at the age of 89 without ever publishing another novel. In 2015, a novel called Go Set A Watchman was published.  It was actually a first draft of Mockingbird.  She received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2007.
