TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, June 3, 2013

Greetings Infomaniacs,

Welcome to the month of June! It's getting warmer in the city of Chicago and I am loving it! The only thing I don't like warm weather? Insects...especially mosquitoes! Oh well, I guess I'll take the good with the bad, even if it means smelling like Off! spray every time I am outside.

Enjoy!
Melissa

I can be quick and then I'm deadly,
I am a rock, shell and bone medley.
If I was made into a man, I'd make people dream,
I gather in my millions by ocean, sea and stream.
