A Colorful World Part 2
The Color of Cherries The color red is bright and vibrant. It has many different shades and we can see plenty of red in every sunrise and a bit in every sunset which tends to have more of an orange glow. I love wearing red in different combinations such as red and purple, red and dark blue, and red and yellow. We all know that red and green are Christmas colors.

I See Clowns...
I am a millennial. For reference, a millennial is a person born between 1981 and 1996. There are many things that our generation has lived through that generation Z and the current generation (gen X) either do not remember or do not know about. Let's go back to the early 2000s, shall we? It was an interesting time to be alive, cell phone use was on the rise. Apple gave us the iPod and the iPhone and changed how we listened to music. No more did we have to download music from LimeWire or carry our compact disk players in our pockets and walk a certain way so the song wouldn't skip too much. Pagers were on their way out. Only doctors or street pharmacists had them mostly. Caller ID was now a service that came standard instead of having to pay a separate fee for it. So many new technologies and different ways to seemingly improve one's life.

Secrets of Isaac Newton
He disappointed his mother by not pursuing her dream of becoming a farmer. His relationships with others were so complex that he ended up living a solitary life. However, his passion for alchemy led him to become one of the most renowned scientists in history. Yes, I'm referring to Isaac Newton, the famous English physicist and mathematician who revolutionized modern physics. Newton was born in the small village of Wol Thorp in 1643. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to meet his father, who passed away before his birth. Around the same time, another brilliant scientist, Galileo Galilei, took his last breath in Florence. Little did Newton know that he would later build upon Galileo's ideas and make them legendary. From the very beginning, Isaac faced challenges as he was born prematurely and had to fight for survival. He was so tiny that he could fit inside a large mug. His mother remarried shortly after his birth, and he ended up living with his grandmother, separated from his mother for nine years. This solitude had a lasting impact on his life. Years later, when reflecting on his past, he even confessed to having fiery thoughts about his stepfather, such as wanting to burn down the house. On the bright side, his isolation sparked his interest in books on mechanics and technology. He even developed a highly accurate system of sundials. Recognizing his intellectual potential, his uncle and school headmaster encouraged him to pursue his studies instead of tending to the family property. Despite his mother's initial resistance, she eventually gave in, and Newton returned to grammar school. At the age of 18, he was admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge. To support his education, Newton worked and studied, waiting tables and taking care of other students' rooms.

The Lost Cities of the Amazon
As I delve into the intriguing history of the Amazon rainforest, the focus shifts to the enigmatic explorer Percy Fawcett and his relentless pursuit of a lost city he named "Z." Fawcett vanished in the heart of the Amazon in 1925 during his eighth expedition, leaving behind a mystery that puzzled experts for decades. The prevailing belief was that the rainforest, with its perceived hostility and remoteness, could not have supported cities. However, recent archaeological findings have challenged this notion, unveiling a network of ancient cities concealed within the lush greenery.
