Almost a musing: 12/12/2022
Yesterdays, roses, ostriches, radios, blindness, French
Happy Monday!
Quick read
Rotten yesterdays according to Ralph Waldo Emerson
Finish every day and be done with it. For manners and for wise living it is a vice to remember.
You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely, and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This day for all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the rotten yesterdays.
Visual
Don’t forget to smell the roses every once in a while
Fact
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
This day in history
221 years ago today, on December 12th 2022, Italian physicist and radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi succeeded in sending the first radio transmission across the Atlantic Ocean, disproving detractors who told him that the curvature of the earth would limit transmission to 200 miles or less. The message–simply the Morse-code signal for the letter “s”–traveled more than 2,000 miles from Poldhu in Cornwall, England, to Newfoundland, Canada.
