Good morning everyone and welcome to Kobber’s Tuesday Questions. Today, for some reason, I’ve been extra plagued by allergies – sneezing, itchy eyes, scratchy skin… all day long. So this sets the theme for Today’s Question.
Today’s Question:
Do you have any allergies?
If yes, what are you allergic to, and how do your allergies manifest themselves (sneezing, rashes, splotches, whatever)?
Extra Credit Question:
Do you ride a bicycle (road bike, mountain bike or exercise bike)?
If so, roughly how long do you spend riding your bike in a normal (good weather) week?
Bonus Question:
Do you live in the same State (or region for overseas QOTD’ers) that you were born in?
If not, roughly how many miles away is your birth town/city?
Just for Fun:
Today is ‘Inconvenience Yourself Day’. Do you expect to be inconvenienced more than usual today? If yes, in what ways?
Today in History:
1066 Westminster Abbey opens
1692 Salem witch hunt begins
1827 First commercial railroad in U.S., Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) chartered
1935 Nylon discovered by Dr. Wallace H. Carothers
