@taci,

Good morning in S. California may this day find you doing well. 😎🎈

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎💕Oodie I read your post from last night.
Thank you for such a sweet post I am so glad you like the way I do the thread. 💕😎

I always said it’s a labor of love and I enjoy what I do. 💕

Glad you treated yourself and hubby got in on the action too with no issues. 🎈

Please be careful with doing your flowers the way you described it sounds like a job.
Just don’t lift too much. I know once it is finished it will look beautiful. Oz has some
rain coming and that brings out the color and fullness of the flowers and plants. 💕

I hope you get some gentle rain and soon. I am still laughing at your husband’s twin. 🎈

NATIONAL ODOMETER DAY

National Odometer Day on May 12th each year provides an opportunity to learn a little bit about the odometer.

An odometer is an instrument that indicates the distance traveled by a vehicle. It may be electronic, mechanical or a combination of both. The word odometer comes from the Greek words hodos meaning path or gateway and metron, meaning measure. In some countries, an odometer is called a mileometer, kilometer, or tripometer.

Odometers were first developed in the 1600s for wagons and other horse-drawn vehicles to measure distances traveled. Arthur P. and Charles H. Warner of Beloit, Wisconsin developed the first odometer for the automobile which appeared in 1903 and was patented as the Auto-Meter.

The brothers would also patent other items including a tachometer, paper making machine, electric brake, and power clutch. At one point their business, Stewart-Warner Speedometer corporation developed a thermometer for the motor. However, they faced a lawsuit for patent infringement which they ultimately lost.

Arthur Warner was one of the earliest pilots in America. His engineering curiosity led him to assemble and eventually fly a Curtiss Pusher airplane.

While technology has changed greatly since 1903, the odometer continues to track how far we have traveled. It also tells us how far we go in a single trip. Other gauges monitor fuel consumption and oil pressure, speed, and RPMs.

NATIONAL LIMERICK DAY

The day also celebrates the limerick poem. Limerick poems were popularized by Edward Lear’s book “Book of Nonsense” in 1846. A limerick is a very short, humorous, nonsense poem. Within a limerick, there are five lines. The first two lines rhyme with the fifth line and the third and fourth line rhyme together.

NATIONAL FIBROMYALGIA AWARENESS DAY

Symptoms may come and go, lasting a few minutes, an hour, a day, a week, a month, or a year. While there is no cure for fibromyalgia, a variety of treatments and therapies focus on reducing the amount and frequency of pain. They also aim to improve sleep. Therapies such as exercise, massage, acupuncture, and chiropractic care aim to manage symptoms without pharmacological interventions. Prescriptions manage pain, improve sleep, and combat depression, too.
