Look for the * for today’s advice.
10-4 GOOD BUDDY DAY
MIND
Rutherford B. Hayes 1822
https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/presidents/rutherford-b-hayes/
In Rutherford B. Hayes’ hometown of Delaware, Ohio, there’s a memorial to the late U.S. president; it’s a plaque that marks his birthplace, which is now a gas station. In Paraguay, people might find this fact horribly offensive. Perhaps that’s because the country is littered with Hayes memorials—from statues to schools to streets named in his honor. There’s even a city in Paraguay called Villa Hayes, which lies in the middle of a province called Presidente Hayes, which is roughly the size of South Carolina.

*It truly is fascinating how beloved Hayes is in Paraguay and how forgotten he is in U.S. history. Research this more for a great DYK with work colleagues or family.
BODY

Rose takes nearly 400 basketball shots in a single workout. His trainer helps him work on his lateral movement, ball handling, creating shots off of various dribbles, and reading ball screens.

I want them to respect the divine in everyone. And understand that with privilege comes responsibility. Everyone has a responsibility towards this larger family of man, but especially if you’re privileged, that increases your responsibility. I want them to understand the joy of empowerment, of service. I want them to understand that doing the right thing is a joyful experience, that it isn’t a grind.

MONEY
Russell Simmons 1957
Now is the time to take charge of your personal finances. Here are three easy things to remember:
- Start with small steps.
- Start when you’re young.
- It’s your life and your money.

https://njaes.rutgers.edu/sshw/message/message.php?p=Finance&m=312
Russell Simmons may be worth an estimated $325 million, but that doesn’t mean his two daughters have unlimited spending power.
On a recent back-to-school shopping spree at J.Crew in East Hampton, the music and Phat Farm clothing mogul treated his daughters to some new threads.
But Ming Lee, 12, and Aoki Lee, 9, were each given a budget … $750, a source told the New York Post.
*Even if you’re not young, it’s your life and your money so take charge of your personal finances today. The first small step is Check Your Cash Flow – Figure out how much money you have coming in each month and how much you pay out for household expenses. Teach this lesson to your children.

FOOD
Alicia Silverstone 1976 – cauliflower Buffalo wings
http://thekindlife.com/recipes/
“When I was having my crazy moments post-Clueless, I was being called ‘Fat Girl’”—a cruel play on her role as Batgirl in 1997 Batman & Robin. “It didn’t make me think, Oh yes, I’m going to try really hard to be [what you think I should be]. My response was, ‘Hell no.’ I had no interest in being famous or maintaining any kind of fame. If you told me that acting meant I was going to be called fat and have to do things a certain way, then I was like, ‘F off.’”
