Many Types

Who first said: “It takes all kinds to make the world.”? A Google search led to en.wiktionary.org, which reveals that Miguel de Cervantes may have started the ball rolling in Don Quixote, translated from Spanish as: “In the world there must surely be of all sorts.” Photo from Google Images:

Real World, headline from nypost.com: “‘I won’t be silent now’: Minn. Dem official who once called for ‘dismantling’ of police department now wants tougher crime laws after violent carjacking.” Better late than never, madam. “A liberal is a conservative who hasn’t been mugged yet…” — Frank Rizzo, former mayor of Philly.

Mad world, headline from newsmax.com: “Iran, Russia ‘Recruiting’ US-Trained Afghan Commandos.”

Woke world, headline from foxnews.com: “Filmmaker shuts down question about lack of diversity in new movie: ‘It takes place in Denmark in the 1750s’.” Duh!

Par for the political course world, from FN: “Chicago Teachers Union boss who denounced school choice as racist has son in Catholic school: report.” “Do as I say, not as I do.” According to a Google search, that famous phrase dates to circa 1654 in John Selden’s Table-Talk. Photo from GI:

Silly world, from FN: “Alabama school suspends 1st-grader for making finger gun while playing cops and robbers, says outraged parent.” Photo from GI (shoots blanks):

Ray of hope world, from FN: “Schools increase access to manufacturing and trade skills classes in effort to boost workforce.”

Sane world, from GI. We know why Drake is smiling. The items once belonged to fans.

Crazy person world: Drop in temperature, rise in humidity, I was sweating bullets setting up the floating book shop. My thanks to Herbie, who donated four books in Russian he found along his shopping route, and who bought Dockside by Susan Wiggs and Likely to Die by Linda Fairstein; and to the woman who purchased a cook book in Russian; and to the gentleman who selected a paperback on stress relief and a cook book for diabetics. Nice breeze through the window right now, dark clouds, rumbles of thunder in the distance — let there be relief!
