#Henrys Heads Up! Tomorrow January 24 2015 will be; henryhankandme/today_is/heads_up/2015_jan.php#january_24 or below: We have two food holidays tomorrow . First is National Peanut Butter Day. George Bayle, started making peanut butter in the 1890s, but it wasnt until 1923 when Heinz found a way to homogenize it into a spreadable form, that it really took off. BTW: There are about 550 peanuts in a 12 oz jar. [The Hankster says] We are only 24 days into the new year, but I am well on my way to consuming my U.S. per capita share of 6 pounds of peanut products annually. It is said that men like crunchy (true for me) and that children and women like smooth. As a kid I liked crunchy also. I will have to defer to the third statistic. Second is National Eskimo Pie Patent Day. From Wikipedia: Danish immigrant Christian Kent Nelson, a schoolteacher and candy store owner, claimed to have received the inspiration for the Eskimo Pie in 1920 in Onawa, Iowa, when a boy in his store was unable to decide whether to spend his money on ice cream or a chocolate bar.. [The Hankster says] At this point, on a double food holiday, I usually have to caution you about eating dessert last,. However, since peanut putter can be eaten for a main course (at least at lunch time) and certainly for dessert (PBand J). A quick trip to the store for some Chocolate covered Peanut Butter Ice Cream, will fix that. See, life is not so complicated as you think. Tomorrow is National Compliment Day. [The Hankster says] Dish um out, but make them sincere. An insincere one is seen through quickly and is worst than none at all. And dont forget to throw one your way. Tomorrow is Visit Your Local Quilt Shop Day. [The Hankster says] Didnt know there were such places. I do think that quilts are a work of art. Here in Houston we have the International Quilt Festival. It will be Oct. 22 - Nov. 1, in 2015. We have a jolly day tomorrow.. It will be Global Belly Laugh Day. On January 24 at 1:24 p.m. (your local time you may let go with your best belly laugh. [The Hankster says] It will do you and everyone around you, good. I really think this should be on Dec. 31, the day before we make our New Years resolutions. Healthy Weight Week has ended and I am sure we have all paid strict attention to our weight reduction resolutions. So, I ask you, what kind of a shake will slim abs make? We have an animal awareness day tomorrow. It will be Change a Pet’s Life Day, a. pet adoption awareness day. We have a health awareness day tomorrow. It will be Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day. Moebius Syndrome is an extremely rare congenital neurological disorder which is characterized by facial paralysis and the inability to move the eyes from side to side. Most people with Moebius Syndrome are born with complete facial paralysis and cant close their eyes or show facial expressions. Limb and chest wall abnormalities often occur with the syndrome. Respiratory problems, speech and swallowing disorders, visual impairments, sensory integration dysfunction, sleep disorders and weak upper body strength may also be present. . Tomorrow is also Talk Like A Grizzled Prospector Day. See 1848 below. [The Hankster says Well we could watch some old Gabby Hayes movies to pick up some verbal nuggets, but here are a few catch words to add to your cantankerous vocabulary.: Ah reckon, bona fide, Yessiree, /recond reckoned, with Were a-fixin, Dagnabbit, sidewindin, hornswagglin, them thar and dadburn. One particular term for a big finish was the spoonerism, Sockdolager. One reference indicates that it was the laughter from its use in Our American Cousin that was used to muffle the gunshot that Booth dealt Lincoln. Malcolm Forbes once said By the time weve made it, weve had it. [The Hankster says] I guess it all depends on what our goal is and how hard we work at it, that indicates if we made it before our time runs out. I am sure others had goals and ambitions. Yes, we will take a peak at those who strove in the past, on January 24, to meet theirs in a timely manner. In 1899, The rubber heel for footware was patented by Humphrey OSullivan. In 1848, Gold is discovered in California. [The Hankster says] This lead to the California Gold Rush and the prospectors refered to as The 49ers a year later when the news reached the East.. In 1902, Denmark agrees to sell the Virgin Islands to the U.S. The deal was not signed until 1916, and the original cost of 5 million dollars, became 25 million dollars. In 1908, The Boy Scouts movement began in England with Robert Baden-Powells serial publication Scouting for Boys. In 1922, Lehman Caves National Monument (in Great Basin National Park) is established by Presidential proclamation. In 1923 - Aztec Ruins National Monument, in NM is established. In 1961, Goldsboro B-52 crash: A bomber carrying two H-bombs breaks up in mid-air over North Carolina. The uranium core of one weapon remains lost. [The Hankster says] Yes, this is the third such accident we have mentioned this month. This was a close one folks. From Wikipedia: In 2013, investigative journalist Eric Schlosser published a book, Command and Control, in which he presented a declassified 1969 document obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. In the report, entitled Goldsboro Revisited, written by Parker F. Jones, a supervisor of nuclear safety at Sandia National Laboratories, Jones says that one simple, dynamo-technology, low voltage switch stood between the United States and a major catastrophe, and concludes that The MK 39 Mod 2 bomb did not possess adequate safety for the airborne alert role in the B-52.. From another article, it seems that this low voltage switch was the last of 8 fail-safe mechanisms. In 1972, Japanese Sgt. Shoichi Yokoi is found hiding in a Guam jungle, where he had been since the end of World War II. In 2003 – The United States Department of Homeland Security officially begins operation.
