The Burgess Battery Company (Burgess) was founded by Dr. Charles F. Burgess in Madison, Wisconsin, and incorporated on March 1, 1917. The United States entered World War I a month later on April 6. During the war, Burgess collaborated with the US Army Signal Corps to develop quality batteries for radio communication equipment.
I had no idea this company existed until I saw an ad for it on a fellow member of the larger Burgess family’s Facebook page. It’s cool that this existed. I know my dad would have found this to be really cool. I know I do. The company no longer exists but their legacy lives on.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. The holiday is an underdog if you think about it. It has to fight for recognition because Christmas seems to engulf everything once we get past Halloween. Thanksgiving is when we give thanks and spend time with family both biological and chosen. I like the parade, the food such as turkey and dressing. We can’t forget the pies too. and more. It’s cool that Thanksgiving is celebrated in Canada and The United States.
It’s a Friday afternoon and I have a fresh hair cut and it’s the weekend. Looking forward to chilling out and getting ready for the next week as we do. Have a great weekend everyone.
I enjoy talking about politics and religion (yes I know both are sacred cows) but only with like-minded friends, never family. I enjoy discussing TV, professional wrestling, movies, music, sports, and other things that come up in conversation around the dinner table or over coffee. Lately, I have been with company, who talk about what ails us because we are at that stage in life where aches and pains, and how to deal with them. It is not my preferred topics but they are necessary because I can learn from them. Life is something to be talked about and that’s cool.
Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First held on April 22, 1970, it now includes a wide range of events coordinated globally involving over 1 billion people in more than 193 countries.
Taking care of the planet that we all share is important. Everyone should do their part to make the world environment a better place. It’s easy, just by reducing, reusing, recycling, restoring, and replenishing you can make a difference. Small moves can mean big results.
