Yesterday we were treated with the spring equinox, when the sun’s warmth and light fall unequally on the northern and southern halves of the planet. During the equinox, the Earth’s axis and its orbit line up so that both hemispheres get an equal amount of sunlight – translation … IT’S SPRINGTIME!! In 2025, the spring equinox […]
Now, you are likely thinking this will be a blog about some wonderful pie recipe I found (ok, pick one HERE.) But actually, it’s about another Pi (π), as today is National Pi Day (and also Albert Einstein’s birthday). One of the most mysterious and essential numbers in mathematics, pi represents the ratio of a […]
Sometimes the best made plans of those putting in a good day’s work can turn out to be a mistake. Adding numbers, counting items, writing code or just trying to fill an order, we can err in our efforts. Recently I read about the word “dord” that made its way into the famous Merriam-Webster dictionary […]
A couple of weeks ago we had the opportunity to exhibit at a trade show in Vegas SHOT SHOW- (Shooting – Hunting- Outdoor – Tactical), joining 65,000+ others. We do a lot of PIA (Pain in the @%$) Jobs! work in this field, processing various knives, components for wonderful customers (thank you!!). As many do […]

Like most of you, I’m planning on watching “the game” on Sunday – (when writing this, the final two have not been determined) one thing I know for sure is it’s not my Brownies!! Being a foodie, and a snack lover, I pretty much try everything that’s put out, especially the dips. There’s something special […]
This weekend we again get to be a part of a fun and very important tradition – Groundhog Day. This blend of history, folklore, and modern culture makes Groundhog Day a unique and enduring American tradition. Without the groundhog, February 2 would be just another day on the calendar. But the great Punxsutawney Phil is […]
We all do it. Every once in a while, we get a craving for peanut butter. On toast or in a sandwich, there’s something in our brains that says – yep, now’s a good time for a PB & J. I was poking around the internet, and found out today is National Peanut Butter Day, […]
It’s fun sometimes to look back at events that shaped our fascination with the world around us. For me, seeing rocket ship launches, a man walking on the moon, jets overhead, up close photography of creepy, crawly things like fascinating fly eyes and hairy spiders (still very creepy!), steam power and crystal snowflake formations (ok, […]
