My wife hesitates whenever I am at the store by myself for one of two reasons.Reason one: I get distracted very easily and have a tendency to buy on impulse, typically prefaced with a "Ooh!

Other than the year’s at the spring – which checks out, the Spring equinox falls on March 20, 2025 – I think he gets just about everything else wrong.First of all, the name itself, Spring, is a marketing triumph.

Humans are unique in having developed full language, and language has enabled our impressive social, operational, artistic, and scientific accomplishments. We think that long before our species emerged 300,000 years ago -- Homo Sapiens -- language was developed by our modern cousin, Homo Erectus, two or three million years earlier.Language is made of words, tones, sounds, rhythms, and facial expressions – and of course as it develops, there are drawing and writing.
