BOMB POPS AND BUNYAN BURSTING WITH ENERGY

AS AN ENGLISH TEACHER, I DESPISE USING CAPS LOCK FOR MORE THAN CAPITALIZING PROPER WORDS IN A SENTENCE. HOWEVER, TODAY IS CAPS LOCK DAY, SO WE ARE CELEBRATING BY USING IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! FACEBOOK HAS BEEN AN ESSENTIAL TOOL IN CELEBRATING ALL OF OUR HOLIDAYS AND THIS IS NO DIFFERENT. CHECK OUT OUR FACEBOOK PAGES TO SEE ALL THE FUN HOLIDAY POSTS FROM US AND OUR FRIENDS!
Oh we did!
Ok, summer time is equivalent to a few things: heat, tanks and shorts, ice cold lemonade, and...Bomb Pops! Today is the day to celebrate the awesomeness that is the flavorful cherry, lime, and blue raspberry goodness of the classic Bomb Pop. After retrieving our pops, we obviously had to bring them home, but the ABQ heat doesn't lend well to frozen treats out in the open. So, when we got them home,we had a bit of Bomb Pop mush. They were still quite tasty though:
                                                                From the store to our living room!
Lastly, we have Paul Bunyan Day. According to American Folklore, Paul Bunyan and his giant blue ox Babe traveled around the United States spreading lumberjack goodness. He has been credited with scooping out the great lakes in order to give Babe a place to drink, clearing N. and S. Dakota for farming, Babe's footprints carved out Minnesota's 10,000 lakes, and Bunyan trained ants to do woodworking (Carpenter ants). Here in ABQ, we have a giant lumberjack visible from Historic Route 66. Check him out:
Unfortunately, Babe is not present.

OK, that's all we've got for today. Hope your day was fantastic!
CS, out.
