We’ve seen these tip challenge a lot lately. Where someone will leave a gigantic tip to pay it forward to the servers, bar tenders, and local restaurants who have been struggling since the pandemic began. But we’ve never seen anything like this!
Two rival colleges in Ohio, Xavier and University of Cincinnati got into a “tip-off” with each other. It all started when some of the students from one school left a $1,000 tip at a restaurant in the area. Xavier students caught wind of it and decided to one up them with a tip of $1,001. Hilarious. It sort of snow balled from there and is now up over $34,000 that has been raised for restaurant workers. Unbelievable.
This is the perfect chance for us to say, thank you!
To our long time regulars and friends and to those of you finding…

You may have noticed this while grocery shopping. The brown shelled eggs always more than the white. I always thought it was because of their nutrients, quality, being “organic” or something like that. But nope. It’s none of those things come to find out.
Brown eggs actually cost more because the hens that lay them are larger and need to be feed more. This ends up costing more to raise them. That cost in turn is what you’re paying for in the store. Interesting!

During the pandemic Mark started a garage band with his old college buddies. They started it as something fun to do since they were all so bored. Now, they meet three times a week in his basement.

One thing that has been obvious as we come up on almost 1 year of living through this pandemic is how many amazing people we have working in our hospitals and healthcare facilities. This story is yet another example of that.
You may remember a few weeks ago at the Super Bowl there were 7,500 healthcare workers who were invited to attend the game. Three of the doctors in attendance had quite the adventure on their flight home. They were traveling back to Los Angeles when a woman on their plane started having a medical emergency and couldn’t breathe. They started to help her and alerted the crew and pilot who had to make an emergency landing in Houston.
As you can imagine these doctors didn’t get back home until much later than expected, but still managed to make it to their scheduled shift only a half an hour after they landed.
Incredible.

I’ve always found it strange that a movie trailer plays before the movie when the word “trailer” means to come after. So why are they called that?
Back when trailers were first being made in the 1910s it was the silent film, Charlie Chaplin era. They actually did show them after the movie so it was “trailing” the film. Then what ended up happening is the advertisers and producers realized people were getting up and leaving immediately after the movie they came to see ended and not seeing the trailers at all. So the decision was made to move them ahead of the feature film. The term “movie trailer” just managed to stick all these years later.
