My pet peeve: all those tricky snipe hunts - Florida Weekly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
October is a month with both serious and frivolous events on the calendar. It is Breast Cancer Awareness Month—that’s the serious one—and it is also home to Halloween, which is not serious, unless you’re terrified of Jack-o-Lanterns. But in researching this month’s events and holidays, I also came across this: The second week of October is Pet Peeve Week. Which I found very curious because I did not know that peeves could be kept as pets. I thought they were wild animals, like snipes, which I hu

The politician was Richard Nixon, who later would become our 37th president, and

It’s the battle of the astronomers versus the meteorologists, with the calendar-makers caught in the middle. But don’t feel too sorry for the hemerologists. They’re just stuck in their old ways. Some explanation may be in order, perhaps starting with the question you may be asking right now: What the heck is a hemero

Read excerpt
Hispanic Heritage Month begins this month and runs through mid-October. It’s an important commemoration here in Florida where 29 percent of the state’s population has Hispanic roots.

Florida didn’t become a territory of the United States until 1822 and wasn’t admit
