Learned this morning that All Saints Day was celebrated on May 13, until the 8th Century when Pope Gregory moved it to Nov 1 to align with Samhain, the festival of the end of the harvest and beginning of winter for the Celts.
When I stayed overnight in the hospital with my aunt for several days, Hallmark movies helped her rest and even sleep. Am so grateful for them.
Late night when they switched to Reba’s sitcom, that was ok. Golden Girls, not so much. Learned to switch to PBS Kids then. Just calming sounds to replace hospital noise.
100-year flood plain events should be renamed. It means there’s a 1 in 100 chance of floods happening in any given year.
They can be influenced by increased building on natural areas that would normally absorb flood waters, or changes in weather patterns like El Nino and La Nina years.
Sorry to hear you’re experiencing a severe drought. Is that cyclical in Kansas, depending on El Nino or La Nina? I used to live in CA and TX, so know droughts and fire weather well.
Glad you like Kansas. Like I said originally, everyone finds reason to prefer where they are and say how they could never live under the conditions others live.
