You know I care about you.  I do.

As sure as I am sitting here typing.

With that said, I think there is something you should know.
Quite a few things, actually.

You might want to sit down.  If you are already sitting… stay down… by golly.
Here it goes.

1.  Montpelier, Vermont is the only U.S. state capital without a McDonalds.   I guess that means they are not LOVING IT up in Vermont.  If you plan on visiting… get your Big Mac Attacks out of the way before you go.
2.  The next time you are staring lovingly at your hamster… and you think the little fella’ is winking back…. well… it probably isn’t so.  Hamsters only blink one eye at a time.   AND… if they blink both eyes at the SAME time… be afraid.  Be very afraid.
3. The longest recorded flight of a chicken is thirteen seconds.  I don’t know who knows this for sure.  I was unaware that chickens were required to keep flight logs.  Apparently, Poultry Air Traffic Control is much more complicated that I suspected.
4. February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon.   Curious, don’t you think?  It could have something to do with the blinking hamsters.
5. If you need to call someone in Antarctica, the international telephone dialing code for Antarctica is 672.  Call them crazy when you do.
6. How’s your health?  Only one person in two billion will live to be 116 or older.   Somehow, I find this reassuring.
7. I am not a big fan of Nutmeg.  I’m just not.  I especially don’t like it in Chili.  Any way… I had a sneaky suspicion there was something sinister about Nutmeg.  It is extremely poisonous if injected intravenously.  Death by Pumpkin Pie is next.  (See earlier comment about living to 116 years of age.)

I only tell you these things because I care.  I’d hate to see you get in the way of a flying chicken at 11 seconds.  I just would.
