TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, April 11, 2011
Greetings Infomaniacs,
I hope everyone had a nice weekend. The weather was
beautiful here in the Chicagoland area. I love the warm
spring weather! The only thing I don't love about the
warmer temperatures is that the bugs start coming out in
stronger force. I have some fun facts about bugs for you -
hope you enjoy!
Enjoy!
