Many of us grew up during the 1960s. Some, like me, never grew up. But we've continued to age without expiring. Let's see…where was I? Oh, yes. If you grew up back then, you probably remember a neighborhood visitor called the "milk man." He worked for a local dairy, and came by in a truck two or three mornings a week delivering fresh products. Now, back in those days most milk and cream came in thick glass bottles. You would […]
How much dairy do you drink or eat every day? Do you take it for granted? Consider that a lot of milk produced on farms doesn't hit supermarket shelves as fresh milk. In fact, a whopping 9% of milk collected on American dairy farms goes solely toward producing ice cream. A very minuscule percentage of fresh milk sold after the farm ends up on food bank shelves, despite it being one of the most requested items. Food banks often serve […]
The Sunflower State is experiencing some drama due to the fact that some Kansas residents recently discovered that they're drinking contaminated water... and have been for a long time. Back in 2011, the state found water that had been tainted by perchloroethylene (PCE), a common chemical used in dry cleaning. According to an explosive report in The Wichita Eagle, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) then waited six years to report and investigate the area; they thought water […]
Today, I would like to salute the leisure suit, a huge success of the 1970s. Not long ago, I found one in my closet, hiding somewhere between my tie-died shirts and my bell-bottomed jeans. I still love it, but my wife never lets me wear it to weddings. This incredibly versatile outfit (shirt-like jacket and matching slack) dominated men’s wear. Guys hoped this fashion – which didn’t require a tie – would replace business suits. Some men who chose leisure […]
Back in 2010, Julie Baker's daughter had a favorite chicken. Their family raised a whole brood of chickens and, like most farm animals, they remained outside, free to peck, scratch, bah-gok, and poop to their hearts' content. The daughter's favorite chicken -- Abigail -- was an old hen who was fond of hanging out inside the house. As chickens are wont to do, she pooped wherever she pleased, without hesitation. She was, after all, a chicken, creatures which are rarely […]
If you have a new pet, this might be the best news you've heard all week: more and more companies are implementing options for new pet-owners to work from home in order to bond, train, and comfort their new pets. Nina Hale, a marketing company in Minnesota, has recently implemented this fur-ternity leave, as some people call it. It allows the owner of a new pet to work from home for one week following the adoption of a new pet. […]
Surgical procedures in the mouth area aren't all that uncommon. In fact, five million Americans have their wisdom teeth removed each year, along with several other dental procedures. But more people are sitting in a sterilized chair for other reasons -- like to have their tongue split or pierced. Body modification is extremely common in today's society and for the most part, it's safe to do. But when it comes to splitting or piercing tongues, surgeons are saying these types […]
As I think about summer in Texas, house flies come to mind. Maybe that's because I've been chasing one around the office all morning. It's hard to guess how many there are worldwide, but we know there are 300,000 species. I personally have interacted with several hundred thousand, many of them gathered around my sandwich. Flies are 65 million years old, which means they've been around longer than my aging great uncle. And he may have something in common with […]
Workplace safety remains a top concern for every industry in the United States. In 2015, 4,836 workers were killed on the job, equating to 13 deaths a day. Roughly 5,190 workers were killed in 2016 (14 deaths a day). In order to combat this serious issue, organizations across the country are attempting to implement creative and new ways to ensure workplace safety. According to WYTV, an Ohio hospital is even using a scavenger hunt to teach employees workplace safety skills. […]
