2019 - Day 160/205 - Sunday...Sternutation...

So, the question of the day is, how many donut holes is too many donut holes. Apparently, 1,100 donut holes is just the right number for a TREPAC Fundraising event at the Central Texas Olive Ranch. Eleven hundred donut holes and twenty-five dozen cookies, and not a singly one was left over. I am not saying that they were all eaten, but there were no left at the Olive Ranch when I I departed. Not sure, but some of them might make it into staff break rooms or fraternity kitchens later on; I can neither confirm nor deny.

The fundraiser was great, and we were threatened with some severe weather following it. We lucked out, it went south and east of us. We (so far) have had about 0.05" of rain, although it was pretty windy for a while. This will be a pretty busy week, but it will all turn out just fine...

Sternutation -- Noun. the act, fact, or noise of sneezing. "Secondly, her achoo! was the tiniest and cutest iteration of a sternutation I've ever seen." Vanessa Golembewski, Refinery29, June 8, 2016

Did You Know? Sternutation comes from Latin and is a descendant of the verb sternuere, meaning "to sneeze." One of the earliest known English uses occurred in a 16th-century edition of a book on midwifery, in a passage about infants suffering from frequent "sternutation and sneesynge." The term has been long used in serious medical contexts, but also on occasion for humorous effect. In 1850 , for example, author Grace Greenwood observed that U.S. senators opposing political parties would often come together to share snuff: "And all three forget their sectional differences in a delightful concert of sternutation."
