Daily Thoughts 01/06/2019

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I spent some time contacting people through LinkedIn for the Givegab campaign.

I read some of The Secret Lives of Color.  I am reading about the history of white pigment in painting.  The first white pigment produced for painting in 2000 b.c. was lead based and poisonous.

I also read some of Capitalism in America A History.  I am reading about globalism versus protectionism in America.

I checked the purchase alerts for holds as well.
