National Corn Chip Day

January 29th is mandated as National Corn Chip Day! Corn chips are right up my alley if you know what I mean. Who can turn down a good chip? Can you believe that 50 years ago (way before this journalists time), few Americans even knew what corn chips were? That’s amazing to me. Today, we can’t imagine life without those tasty little morsels. They were first marketed in 1961 and have been going strong since.

So, in honor of today being National Corn Chip Day – go out and eat some chips… with salsa… with dip… plain… with a friend… yeah, I know the pig is going to get his share!  I think I even heard his humans saying they were going to put corn chips in their chili for dinner tonight.  Now *that* does sound lip smacking good!

I’m back!  Hi my friends – it’s Journalist Rocky the Squirrel here for a great 2017!

Today, January 3rd, is a special day.  It is the Festival of Sleep Day.  I think today is a day that we can all wrap ourselves around and snuggle down for some rest.  The holidays are far behind us now.  All of the rush is done with and it is time to get plenty of rest.  Take you a power nap, hibernate for a few hours, sleep in before work, doze while reading a book – just get plenty of rest!

Enjoy the day my friends.  I’ll be back soon!
