According to one study of 31,337 children and adolescents, snacking can contribute up to 600 calories per day, mostly from high-fat, high-salt, high-sugar foods. Three snacks per day are common, and more than 27 percent of children’s daily caloric intake is coming from snacks. These snack habits are eroding mealtime where healthier food is generally served. My guess is that adults aren’t too far behind in these statistics.

When preparing for any fishing trip, there are a lot of things to consider. In fact, the success of most fishing trips is 90 percent dependent on preparation before you even get to the water. And, of course, one of the most critical decisions made is based on the weather conditions, especially when headed out on the ocean. Today’s fisherman has so many advantages with the Internet and modern day technology when it comes to forecasting but there is really nothing that can substitute real-time first-hand observations from where you want to go.

Every day there is something tragic in the news. Lately it seems that these events are increasing. Most recently, there was a shooting in Santa Monica where a random gunman killed six people. Last week, it was a building collapsing in Philadelphia. The week before, the Oklahoma tornado occurred. The list goes on.
