Remember high school chemistry? In chem class, the one major admonishment your teacher probably made was to be careful. Even though you weren’t doing hazmat experiments, cleaning up a chemical spill would not be fun, and would waste class time. Just imagine, then, how much more severe a chemical spill is when it takes place …
“There’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight,” goes an old American standard. When Theodore Metz composed this tune near the end of the 19th century, he probably wasn’t thinking about car culture. (Though the first steam-powered automobile was invented a few decades earlier, it wasn’t exactly what we think of as a …
Some people harbor resentment, which can lead to anger spilling over into caustic language. And while we specialize in cleaning up caustic spills, and spills in the marine environment, we can’t clean up the kind of spills that come from someone’s mouth. Unless it’s vomit. Then, there’s Biofresh. But we digress. What we want to …
In Shania Twain’s hilarious takedown song, she says she’s not impressed even if a guy is Brad Pitt. She also sings, “OK, so you’ve got a car.” That doesn’t impress her much, either. But with summer on the horizon, having wheels does impress a great many people, especially young people, who can’t wait to get …
Do you like shopping? Many women (and a lot of guys, too!) love the thrill of the hunt, not for big game but for big gain, as in, wardrobe items that turn heads and bode well for the C-suite. Perhaps. Unless you’re in the arts, and are going for a more avant-garde look. But regardless …
You may have heard that a certain pop superstar has been playing to sold-out stadiums this spring. We weren’t able to snag tickets, but there are a lot of great clips online. What nobody seems to be talking about, however, is what happens after a Taylor Swift concert. We imagine those arenas are just a …
‘Way back in 1963, “Up on the Roof” was a hit for The Drifters. James Taylor recorded it in 1979, and again the song climbed the charts. The roof might be a peaceful place to go and relax when the world gets to be too much. But even 60 years later, there’s one thing you …
The weather is warmer, and after the winter we’ve had, everyone wants to be outdoors as much as possible. Picnics are a lovely way to spend a sunny spring afternoon. As long as you allow for ants. Maybe bees. Other people’s dogs attempting to snatch a treat or two. And oh, yes, the potential for …
Now that the weather is nice, it feels good to spend time outside. One of the joys of being in Nature is peace and quiet. It’s just birdsong and people chatting to their friends as they walk… oh wait, what’s that loud voice? Yes, it’s someone on their phone, calling a distant galaxy! At least, …
In March, President Biden designated 770,000 square miles southwest of Hawaii as a new marine sanctuary. That’s a lot of water. To put it in terrestrial perspective, this is an area larger than Alaska and Colorado combined, and three times the size of Texas, making it “the largest ocean area on the planet with the …
