Factoids
Polar bears are thought to be left-handed.
The " Salamander Capital of the World " is found in the Smoky
Mountains where over 30 species of salamanders make their
homes. Those who know say that the majority of
vertebrate animals in the park, including
human visitors, are salamanders.
Every year, the United States throws out the amount of office
paper it would take to build a 12-foot wall from Los Angeles to
New York City (2,794 miles).
Garden Notes
If you plan to start feeding birds now, then be sure to locate your feeders away
from late blooming flowers in your garden. You don't want the birds to snack on
the butterflies that are coming in for nectar before the end of the season.
Old Saws
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
A knot in your shoelace means good luck, while an untied left shoe means that
someone is speaking ill of you. However, if the right one is untied then you are
finding favor somewhere.
Every cock will crow upon his own dunghill.
