Life is good. Saw my first lightning bug (firefly) this week. Summer is truly here. Not sure how that affects your particular business, but I hope you can take advantage of the longer days and give your body and brain a bit of a break. Speaking of which, here are a few random facts to at least give you a moment of free thinking:
1. The adrenal glands are the size of a walnut and weigh less than a grape.
2. A 21 gun salute started in 1688 when rules were set up to show respect for an admiral. Normally there were 10 guns on each side of a ship, plus one extra shot to tell the others to begin firing.
3. Queen Elizabeth II enjoys Scottish country dancing. Each year during her
stay at Balmoral Castle, The Queen gives dances known as Gillies' Balls, for
neighbours, estate and Castle staff and members of the local community.
4. The modern day hand held can opener was invented by William Lyman in 1870. The electric can opener was developed in 1931.
5. Recipe: The pull tab opener was invented by Ermal Fraze of Ohio in 1966. Today frozen juice
comes this way. Mix equal parts of lemonade and orange juice together, following directions for a refreshing summer drink. Enjoy!
