It’s March 3. 
Today is “If Pets Had Thumbs Day.”  What meaningful tasks could your dog or cat accomplish if this were true?  Or your goldfish?

Trivial Fact of the Day:   If you told someone they were one in a million, you’d be saying there were 1,800 just like them in the country of China alone.

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “To live is the rarest thing in the world.  Most people exist, that is all.”  --Oscar Wilde (Irish writer and poet)
 Vocabulary Word of the Day:  paucity (noun) – this is a fancy synonym for a small quantity of something.  At a restaurant, what would you be angry about if they only served you a paucity of it on your plate?

Test Thursday!
