A little message from the Farmer’s Almanac:

Scuppernongs are bronze colored muscadine grapes native to the southeastern United States. The term came from the first muscadine cultivar, “Scuppernong’, named for an area in North Carolina where it was developed.

A Word From Steven Covey:

Probably the most important deposit you can make into an Emotional Bank Account is to listen, without judging or preaching or reading your own autobiography into what someone says. Just listen and seek to understand. Let the person feel your concern for him or her, your acceptance of him or her as a person. The person may not respond at first, but as those genuine deposits keep coming they begin to add up. That overdrawn balance is shrinking.

Trivia:

What popular film star told a late-night TV host, “I get paid good money to squint in movies, and I’m not going to do it for free here?” Clint Eastwood, during an August 2002 appearance on The Late Late Show, hosted by Craig Kilborn.

What did baseball player Charles Waite wear onto the field in 1875 that had fans ridiculing him as a sissy?

A Sports Fact:

Hector Torres hits the first grand slam homer in Toronto Blue Jays history, leading the first-year expansion team to a 7-6 win over the Yankees at Exhibition Stadium. The former hero of Mexico’s Monterrey Little League championship team touches Ron Guidry for his slam in the fifth inning, but it’s an infrequent wallop for the light-hitting Torres. In nine seasons with five teams he’ll have only 18 home runs. (6-27-77)
