15 hours,15 minutes or 15 seconds They are all difficult for me to comprehend in the context of crossword puzzles. I haven't seen a crossword puzzle i many years. I haven't even read a newspaper in 20 years or so. and i have never read the NY Times. Does that explain a few things ??


Oh yeah, while im here. This day in history in 1626 Indians sell Manhattan Island for $24 in cloth & buttons

That $24 number needs to be corrected for inflation...

An often-repeated story throughout History is that the Dutch bought the island of Manhattan from the Native Americans. The price paid was $24 worth of beads, trinkets, a jar of Mayonnaise, two pair of wooden clogs, a loaf of wonder bread and a carton of Quaker oats. It is considered one of the biggest business mistakes in History. Here’s the thing did it really go down the way we were taught? Let us explore, shall we?

“Yesterday the ship the Arms of Amsterdam arrived here. It Sailed from New Netherland out of the River Mauritius on September 23. They report that our people are in good spirit and live in peace. The women also have borne some children here. They have purchased the Island of Manhattes from the savages for the value of 60 Guilders. It is 11,000 Morgens in size.”

A historian in 1846 calculated that 60 guilders were equivalent to $24 for that time. This $24 figure has been frozen in time and is where this part of the story originates. Modern historians have calculated that 60 guilders were equivalent to $951.08 in that time frame. Now $951 is much better than 24, but it’s still too low of a price for the whole island of Manhattan.

1942

On this day 80 years ago in Walton, Liverpool, United Kingdom the most successful songwriter in history was born.
Sir James Paul McCartney.

Happy Birthday MACCA.

I couldn't understand a word that they were saying
But, still, I hung around and took it all in
I wouldn't join in with the games that they were playing
It went by, it went by, in a flash
It flew by, it flew by, in a flash

There's far too much on my plate
Don't have no time to be a decent lover
I hope it's never too late
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My ever present past
