It appears that an ancient smith in Persia was making steel that was close, in today’s terms, to what we’d call “stainless steel.” The question is whether that was lucky, or intentional, or both.
I don’t like to paint. Yet, so many times, I start a project the ends with a couple of coats of paint.
Donald Trump is so ignorant and illiterate that apparently his aides read their briefing notes aloud, to him, like he’s a child with no attention-span. So, I can be sure that – if he’s ever held a copy of a book – he probably hasn’t delved past the cover.
