In The News:
- National Moon Day on July 20th commemorates the day man first walked on the moon in 1969. NASA reported the moon landing as being “…the single greatest technological achievement of all time.” On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 carried the first humans to the moon. Six hours after landing on the moon, American Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface. He spent two and a half hours outside the spacecraft. Buzz Aldrin soon followed, stepping onto the lunar surface. After joining Armstrong, the two men collected 47.5 pounds of lunar material.
- Working in the Yard. Some results of one of those studies that we didn’t really need. Researchers say that homeowners burn more than 80,000 calories a year by working in the yard and doing some gardening. And while that number may seem huge, it really comes to about 220 calories a day. But since every little bit helps, keep digging in the dirt and mowing your lawn.
- A nutritional study finds that less than 15% of Americans eat enough fruit. [ Froot Loops do not count.]
- Roof inspections. Scott Gudmundsen called police to report two masked “antifa guys” in his Colorado (Loveland) neighborhood. A short time later police got another call — reporting a man in fatigues holding two people on the ground at gunpoint. When police arrived they arrested Gudmundsen and confiscated his guns. The two “antifa guys” on the ground were wearing surgical-style masks, shorts, and matching polo shirts — with the name of the roofing company they worked for. They were in the neighborhood because of recent hail storms and weren’t doing anything illegal.
- Kit Kat Pumpkin Pie. It’s only July, but as early as next month companies will begin pushing all things fall — and that means lots of pumpkin and pumpkin-spice food items. Don’t believe me? I’ll check back on August 20 I can say “I told you so.” … But I don’t have to as it has been announced that Kit Kat Pumpkin Pie candy is coming back, well, this month. I told you so.
- Fun Fact: Every two weeks, one-third of the U.S. population eats Macaroni and cheese) #funfact
- How to live past 100. Everyone gets old. It’s an inevitable truth humans have come to terms with. How old you’ll live to, however, is another question. If you’re aiming for the century mark, researchers (University of Otago) say they know the secret. Avoiding smoking and maintaining an active social life are the common keys found among New Zealanders who live past 100… The study collected data from 292 centenarians who were free of chronic diseases such as dementia, depression, diabetes, and hypertension. The researchers said: “Electing not to smoke and committing to maintain social networking will be the best investment one can make towards successful aging.”
- Photo of appliance. It’s a common feeling: you rush out of the house, late for work or to meet a friend, only to be struck by the fear that you forgot to turn your iron off. If you regularly get the feeling you left a particular appliance on, Lifehacker.com suggests snapping a quick photo of it before you leave the house. Do you often think you a burner on after making breakfast? Before you head out the door snap a pic if the knobs in the off position; should the feeling hit you on the way to work you can just glance at your phone as a reminder that all is well at home.
- Santa Gathering is cancelled. The annual summer Father Christmas & Christmas Elves Congress featuring Santas from Europe, the U.S., Canada and Japan was scheduled to begin today (July 20), but the covid canceled it… Held five months before the big day, Santas of the world gather with their helpers at Bakken Amusement Park in Copenhagen. This is — besides Christmas itself — their most important event and the only time when they can meet to discuss important issues such as better rooftop parking conditions and standards of chimney-cleaning. In a normal year the event also features a parade through the city, open-air shows and plenty of Christmas dinners.
- Women attractive at 31. Women are at their most attractive when they are 31 — that’s the precise age when, according to a survey, they are considered most beautiful. The poll of 2,000 men and women (commissioned by shopping channel QVC) found that females in their early thirties are seen as more attractive than younger girls because they are more confident and stylish. The research concluded that beauty is as much about personality as appearance.
- Cheating with a McDonalds meal. Here’s an odd survey: A little over ten percent of adults consider their partner eating a McDonald’s meal without them to be as bad as cheating.
- Iceberg Lettuce — This is something that is surprisingly good for you. The light green color of iceberg lettuce suggests that it isn’t rich in nutrients. Fact: Iceberg contains lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids that reduce the risk for cataracts and age-related macular degeneration, the leading causes of blindness in older adults.
