Friday five
Oct. 27th, 2017 03:44 pm1. The first week of October is National Customer Service Week in the United States and Kenya. Where have you received especially good customer service? Professional Pharmacy, certain restaurants, etc
2. The second Saturday in October was National Tree-Planting Day in Mongolia. When did you last do anything resembling tree-planting? Uhhh..a really long time ago LOL
3. October 4 was World Animal Day (the feast day of Francis of Assisi, the Patron Saint of Animals). What’s an obscure animal you know a thing or two about? Ooo, I've been to Assisi. :D Hmm..I'll find one on Google. "The sarcastic fringehead, Neoclinus blanchardi, is a small but very hardy fish which has a large mouth and aggressive territorial behavior, for which it has been given its common name. When two fringeheads have a territorial battle, they wrestle by pressing their distended mouths against each other, as if they were kissing. This allows them to determine which is the larger fish, which establishes dominance." Haha omg the name of that animal is amazing :P
4. October 6 was National Poetry Day in Ireland and the United Kingdom. What’s a line of poetry that springs to mind now that you’re thinking about poetry?
The ice was here, the ice was there,
The ice was all around:
It cracked and growled, and roared and howled,
Like noises in a swound!
That's from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, when they reached Antarctica :D
5. What’s in your pocket? I'm not wearing anything with pockets right now
Heh, the Chinook we're having has melted a lot of the little snow that we had (at least in town). I bet the skiers aren't liking that :P
