Crazy kids covered in tattoos with their pants so low it's nearly pornographic.

That 65 degree water in Lake Michigan was pretty refreshing and shocking. I'll jump in the neighbors pool with the shorties as often as I can. It's impossible to stay cool at work. I'm covered from head to toes in protective gear that doesn't let your skin breathe.

Today in History:
1927 - 1st flight from West Coast arrives in Hawaii
1929 - 1st high-speed jet wind tunnel completed Langley Field Ca
1939 - Dixie Clipper completes 1st commercial plane flight to Europe
1963 - Beatles' 1st song "From Me to You" hits U.K. charts
1968 - "Tip-Toe Thru' The Tulips With Me" by Tiny Tim peaks at #17 I have the girls singing that on video. It's priceless.
2000 - M&M/Mars renamed their plain M&Ms as milk chocolate M&Ms.)


Word of the Day:
aphorism \AF-uh-riz-uhm\ , noun;
1. A terse saying embodying a general truth, or astute observation.


Today is:
National Almond Butter Crunch Day
National Ducks & Wetlands DayMy friend is hatching some abandoned duck eggs.
Camera Day
Corvette Day But only if it's a stick.
Meteor Day As long as it stays in the sky.
London Bridge Day I'll see that one of these days.

Not into trivia though, I got too much trivia in my real life.
