It’s February 24. 
Today is “National Tortilla Chip Day.” 
In what do you normally dip your chip?

Trivial Fact of the Day:   February 1865 is the only month in recorded history to not have a full moon.  What else was going on in history in 1865?

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “Every one is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.”  --Mark Twain (American author)

Vocabulary Word of the Day:  encumber (verb) – apply this fancy action word to something that weighs down or burdens something/someone else.  Have you ever been polite enough to assist someone who was encumbered by a heavy package he/she was carrying?  Were you sorry once you realized how heavy it was?
