History of National Trail Mix Day

It was invented in 1968 by two California surfers who mixed peanuts and raisins together for an energy snack. But the novel The Dharma Bums, written by Jack Kerouac in 1958, trail mix is mentioned when the two primary qualities describe the planned meals in preparation for their hiking trip.

They had picked up Julie’s scent hit wolfsbane lost her and found her trail again at the crumbling Highway 23 except it was two hours old and mixed with horse scents. She was hitchhiking. Great. Awesome. At least she always carried a knife with her. When I relayed this to Curran he shrugged and said, “If she kills anybody we’ll make it go away.” – Ilona Andrews

We Love Memoirs Day
Love Litigating Lawyers Day

I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.
