Friday lookback at some of the things we did together this week.

  1. Tons of great music from the 80’s, 90’s & more (including some Christmas music)
  2. Donner and Blitzen were originally called Dunder and Blixem, the Dutch words for “thunder and lightning
  3. 90-percent of pet owners will change Holiday plans so their pets won’t be home alone.
  4. A 75-year-old woman attempted to smuggle brass knuckles through airport security in Germany inside a hidden compartment of her purse. Have you flown lately? Can you blame her, it’s crazy up there!
  5. In the UK a team of crooks attempted to break into an ATM by using a blow torch to cut into the machine. It did the job, but it also caught the money on fire. They left empty-handed
  6. A person swallows approximately 295 times while eating dinner. Who had to count people swallowing?
  7. Mistletoe translates to “dung on a stick.” The original name for mistletoe was mistaltan. Mistal comes from the Anglo Saxon word for “dung” and tan means “stick.” Sounds romantic.

As always, have a great weekend and let’s do it again next week. Thanks for listening!

Mike McKay

Mike is BACK on the air every morning all across Eau Claire and the Chippewa Valley on 105-7 CFW! With over 28+ years in the Chippewa Valley, this has become home for Mike and his wife Lori. His kids grew up here and they still live here as well. When he's not on the air waking up the Valley, Mike spends time working around the house and yard as well as relaxing on the deck, usually more time relaxing than working! Weekends mean exploring the area and even after all these years, both he and his wife Lori still find things they've never seen before. Mike enjoys a little bit of online poker and spending quality time with his Pomeranian GiGi and kitty "Violet". Oh, and hockey is the only sport that matters in his house, "GO WILD"!
