OK.. what is that about? Today is National Mole Day. I didn’t know that the little critters needed a special day. And just how should I go about celebrating? Do they eat cake? Maybe pizza? I know they like to tear through my gardening efforts – maybe I’ll set out a dish of tulip bulbs and see what happens. Now that would be unique party favors!
Americans certainly have a penchant for declaring “special days” for just about anything. And that’s probably not a bad thing – although I tend to think our legislators have better things to do with their time.
Lots of people are celebrating birthdays and babies and weddings all around me. A few are honoring loved ones who have died. Bright decorations and party favors round out one celebration. The other just needs hugs and “I love you’s”.

National Mole Day: a celebration honoring Avogadro’s number, 6.02 x 10 to the 23rd. That’s why it’s on 10/23! I bet if you had gone to McDonald’s at 6:02 am that morning, you could’ve found Mr. Anderson celebrating with all the cool ORHS chem students!
