Portrayed by Tom Hanks, a grieving widower, Otto is often right about his grievances. Why should he pay for six feet of rope and waste a few extra cents when he bought just five? Why shouldn't he warn inconsiderate drivers who often block garage doors or entitled neighbors who can't remember to close a gate and respect basic rules about trash disposal?

It was an uphill battle for women to be treated as equal to men. The seeds of Women's History Month began on Feb. 28, 1909, with National Women's Day, marking the protest of N.Y.C. women workers who marched through the streets the year prior, advocating for better working conditions and women's suffrage. We celebrate Women's History Month to remind everyone of the achievements of women throughout the years in our culture and society, and to emphasize their accomplishments and pivotal moments in history.It was an uphill battle for women to be treated as equal to men.

Napping is not just about feeling less tired. Research shows that brief daytime sleep affects your brain in measurable ways. A 2023 study published in Sleep (Oxford Academic) found that mid-afternoon naps of 10 to 30 minutes improved memory encoding, processing speed, and vigilance in healthy adults. Participants who napped for 20 minutes performed significantly better on cognitive tests than those who stayed awake or napped for longer periods.Napping is not just about feeling less tired.

A ''Columbia''-Class of American Confederate Navy Warship, The CSS ''Texas'', was considered one of the best built Ironclads of The American Civil War. She was 217-feet long and displaced 309-tons. Steam propelled, she stood 50-feet tall. Crewed by 50, ''Texas'' featured 2-inches of iron plating over 5-inches of reinforced wood. Before she could be deployed (in 1864, late in The War), she was captured, unfinished, on April 4th, 1865 at the Norfolk Naval Yard in Richmond, VA. In the 2005 film ''Sahara'', the CSS Texas escaped from the battle at Richmond, Virginia and was able to head for the open sea carrying millions in Confederate gold coins. The battle at Richmond was real, but the iron-clad Texas was not there, only in the movie. One of my favorite films.

Before she could be deployed (in 1864, late in The War), she was captured by Federal Forces. ''Texas'' was broken up for scrap in 1866. The Battle of Richmond was real, but "The Texas" was not there, only in the movie "Sahara", one of my favorite films.
