Day 3 2015

Let your heart soar!

#project365 #day3 #letyourheartsoar #judgeroyscream #sixflagsovertexas #rollercoaster #funtimes #sunset #holidayinthepark

I went to six flags with my dad and sister when I was at my height of dizziness from vertigo. I didn't want to miss out on a fun time because in those days there were so few of those for me. It was hard for me but I was able to enjoy my time with my family and am so glad that I got out of bed that day.

Day 3 2016

Out for a walk.

It's January 5th. On this day in 2002, Born Free USA and the Avian Welfare Coalition teamed up to launch the first annual 🇺🇸 US National 🦅 Bird Day in celebration of the annual 🎄 Christmas Bird Count, which runs every December 14th through January 5th. The Christmas Bird Count provides conservationists with important data on the health and numbers of birds across the US. Statistics published in the journal "Science" in 2019 confirmed the Christmas Bird Count's findings. Since 1970, the number of birds across North America has dropped by 29% – a loss of nearly three billion birds. Not very good news.

National Bird Day has thus naturally broadened its mission to include raising awareness of the plight of our remaining living 🦕 dinosaurs and the need to bring about change in order to improve their environments' and ecosystems' health and sustainability.

Half a million birdwatchers and bird enthusiasts are expected to participate in today's celebration. Festivities will focus on activities that inspire people to appreciate birds more, like 🏫 education, bird 🏠 adoption, bird 📸 photo contests, etc.

One specific National Bird Day campaign aims to improve the welfare of "pet" birds like 🦜 parrots, parakeets, and cockatoos by discouraging their purchase as pets, and encouraging support for wild bird habitat conservation programs and captive bird rescue organizations and sanctuaries.

Birds have always held a special place in our hearts, haven't they? Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven," Bambi's 🦉 "Friend Owl," Sesame Street's "Big Bird," Maya Angelou’s, 🕊️ “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”, the Beatles' "Blackbird," Looney Tunes' "Roadrunner" and 🐤 "Tweety Bird," Harry Potter's 🦉 "Hedwig," the Lion King's "Zazu," Aladdin's "Iago," Long John Silver's 🦜 "Captain Flint," Walter Lantz's "Woody Woodpecker," Peanuts' 🐤 "Woodstock," etc. I could go on and on and on, but I'll let you do that. Enjoy the day! ☮️Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

January 3rd is National Drinking Straw Day. Today's date marks the 1888 patent for the paper drinking straw. Hopefully, we are moving past the use of paper and plastic straws and are using more environmentally friendly reusable straws. #drinkingstrawday #lucilleball #desiarnaz #luciearnaz #desiarnazjr #environmentallyfriendly #noplasticwaste #noplasticstraws https://www.instagram.com/p/CJmRn8yFRar/?igshid=1qdq1flxagcn

It's National Drinking Straw Day! The drinking straw was first patented by Marvin Stone 125 years ago today. Celebrate with a quick sip! 🥤   

[rabbitcruiser]

Can you imagine drinking a milkshake without a straw? Or how anyone would manage a juice box? How many soft drinks would you have spilled on yourself in dark movie theaters if it weren’t for straws? I think we can all agree drinking straws have changed our lives for the better enough to deserve their own holiday, and that’s exactly what Drinking Straw day is about: celebrating the invention and patenting of the (paraffin-covered) paper drinking straw!

The History of Drinking Straw Day

The straws man ever used were made by the Sumerians, and were probably most often used for drinking beer, which at that time contained many solid byproducts of the fermentation process. Thousands of years later, in the 1800s, the rye grass straw became popular because it was cheap and soft. Unfortunately, it also had the tendency to turn to mush in liquid. One day, while drinking a mint julep, inventor Marvin C. Stone became especially frustrated by straws’ shortcomings, as the taste of the rye mixed with that of his drink, giving it a grassy taste. He then patented the modern drinking straw in 1888. The first straw Stone made was just paper wound around a pencil to make a thin tube, and he then slid out pencil out from one end and applied glue between the strips. This was already a great improvement on the rye grass straw, as it did not impart any flavor onto the drink being consumed. Stone later further refined his invention by building a machine that would coat the outside of the paper with wax to hold it together, so the glue wouldn’t dissolve in the Bourbon he liked to drink.

How to Celebrate Drinking Straw Day

One way to celebrate Drinking Straw Day would be to spend the entire day drinking all liquids via straws—your morning orange juice, afternoon mineral water, you evening wine and so on. One thing to watch out for here, however, is the fact that sucking any liquid into your mouth via a straw heats the liquid up by a few degrees, and that’s why hot drinks, such as coffee or tea, should not be drunk using straws, as that could lead to scalding your mouth.

Another great way to celebrate this holiday would be to learn to make the drink that that inspired Marvin Stone to create a new kind of straw in the first place: the mint julep. Then, sit back, sipping your drink through a straw and be grateful it does not taste like rye grass! Cheers to Marvin C. Stone, ladies and gentlemen!

Mint Julep Recipe

Ingredients: (makes 2 cocktails)

10 mint sprigs

1 ounce simple syrup OR 4 sugar cubes OR 4 teaspoons of sugar

5 ounces of your favorite bourbon whiskey

Mint sprigs for garnish

Place half of the mint and simple syrup or sugar into one special julep cup, or double old-fashioned glass, and the other half of the mint and sugar/syrup into another. Muddle the mint well with a spoon to dissolve the sugar and to release the oil and aroma of the mint. Pour half of the bourbon into one glass, and the rest into the other. Then, fill both glasses with crushed ice and stir quite energetically, until the glass becomes frosty. Garnish with the mint sprigs and enjoy!
