Friday is National New Year’s Resolution Recommitment Day and Stand for Children Day. And Saturday is Yell "Fudge" at the Cobras in North America Day.

DID YOU KNOW?
According to microbiologists at Kansas State University, bug zappers and food don’t mix. These devices can throw bits of insects more than six feet away. These pieces, and the bacteria in them, can settle on food that is near the zapper. If you use a zapper, keep it well away from food and food-preparation areas.
