RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

THIS N THAT

 Let's suppose you're standing on the North or South Pole at this moment.  Now, what time is it?  You see, if you look at all the time zones as if they were meridians, they would all converge there.  I have no idea what you should say except by quoting Prime Meridian or Greenwich Mean Time.  Maybe the Poles are beyond time.

" Te amo."  "Ti amo."  "je t'aime."  "Te quiero."  "Eu te amo."  "te iubesc."  "Ich liebe dich."  "Ik hou van jou."   Eight ways to say "I love you."  Congratulations to whomever can recognize each language.  Put your answer in comments.  See the commonality in the Romance Languages?

Do you want a good laugh?  Google notified me that they took down three of my blog posts because they doubted the entries met their community standards.  ART ? of 3/1/21;  YODA OR YOTA of 3/4/21; SECOND TIME AROUND of 3/9/21.  Unbelievable!  I hadn't even mentioned that I thought Trump was the best president of my lifetime. They have since reinstated them.

Andrew Carnegie, once the richest man in the world, got his first job at the age of twelve.  He was a bobbin boy; he changed spools of thread in a cotton mill 12 hours a day, 6 days per week.  His pay was $1.20 per week.  In terms of todays dollar value, he would have been making $36 per week.  Someone must be kidding about $15 per hour.
