Pete's BLOG-Day 26,212. Ignorance in America.

Today is August 24, 2012. Pete'd stats for today: 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes of lifting weights and 48 minutes of walking = 2.6 miles for an August total of 46.7 miles. My weight was 162.0 pounds. 

QUOTE from Amos Bronson Alcott: TO BE IGNORANT OF ONE'S IGNORANCE IS THE MALADY OF THE IGNORANT.

The following are from the Reader's Digest. They made me think of ignorance in America. The majority of Americans - 3 in 4 - identify Larry, Curly, and Moe as the Three Stooges. But only 2 in 5 can correctly identify the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of our government.

More than three quarters of Americans can name two of the seven dwarfs, while less than a quarter can name two members of the Supreme Court.

HUMOR for today. I read the HAGAR THE HORRIBLE comic strip every morning - it was a funny one today.

Helga (the wife) is on her hands and knees scrubbing the kitchen floor.

Hagar says, "Helga, I hate to see you working so hard this early in the morning....so I'm going to have breakfast down at the tavern."
