Memorial Day Weekend! Hopefully small business owners can take time off to renew, refresh, and relax. It is also a time to remember. Remember those who gave their lives to keeping this country safe.
I often wonder what it would be like to look out of my house and see tanks and military personnel fighting down my street as other women have done. I pray for them and myself in the same sentence.
Ok, now for some random facts. We all find out about just little items during our usual routines. See if you those these:
1. Gestation for a walrus is 15-16 months. A calf weighs between 99-165 lbs at birth.
2. The poorest state in the U.S. is Mississippi with a median income of $36, 850.
3. Each year, the 3rd U.S. Infantry places a small American flag before more than 260,000 gravestones and about 7,300 niches of service members buried at Arlington National Cemetery just before the weekend begins. Flags, about 13,500, are also placed at the Soldier's and Airmen's Cemetery. It takes them about 3 hours to complete this honor. They also stay at the cemeteries over the weekend, watching over the flags.
4. Are you up on your bicycle terms? How about "Fairing" - a full or partial covering for a bicycle to reduce aerodynamic drag or to protect the rider from the elements.
5. Recipe: It is hot dog time! What condiments do you place on yours?
Here are a few ideas:
Chicago-- a poppy seed bun piled high with mustard, sweet
pickle relish, onion, tomato, a dill pickle spear, sport peppers, and a
dash of celery salt.
Los Angeles--bacon-wrapped, fried peppers, onions, and mayonnaise.
New Jersey--diced stewed potatoes, brown mustard on a spicy hot dog.
Seattle--cream cheese, grilled onions on a toasted bun.
