MOO-VING ON!

   FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19TH.
          MOO-VING ON!

      Here's the story folks. Yesterday
I elected to alert you to the fact in was
National Battery Day! The thought
just energized me!
      That said, February 18th also
hosts some other unofficial and unique
holidays that probable ought to get some
attention.
       It was, for instance, it was National
Drink Wine Day. It was also National
Eat Ice cream for Breakfast Day, National
Hate Florida Day, and Pluto Day (the
planet, not the dog).
       Those are all important. Well maybe
not all. But February 17th is also a day
we should all acknowledge. It is "Cow
Milked While Flying In An Airplane Day!"
Holy Cow! How could I have ignored that!

Holy Cow! How could I have ignored that!
        On February 18, 1930, a Guernsey cow
named Nellie Jay or Elm Farm Ollie was
flown from Bismarck, Missouri 72 miles to
St. Louis for the International Air Exposition.
While in the air, Elm Farm Ollie was milked.
Then the milk was sealed in paper cartons
attached to miniature parachutes and dropped
on the people of St. Louis. I guess you could
call it Air Milk!
        Because of her accomplishment, Nellie
Jay was appropriately renamed Sky Queen!
I'm sorry I waited a whole day to tell you!
Hope I didn't sour things and that all your
NEWS is good!
