The PSA of the Week

  Not everything involving better health is connected to medicine. The 3-word descriptor of Augusta’s Most Salubrious Newspaper (TM) – health, wellness, medicine – covers a lot of territory. Today, by way of the PSA of the Week, they’re going to cover DIY. You know what that means: Do It Yourself. Yesterday I had those three letters at the top of …

The PSA of the Week

It’s not the most earthshaking observation of all time, but it’s certainly worth noting: change is often scary. Then, later on, it is seen as good. Stay calm. Carry on. #PSAlite

Here’s a good one

Tuesdays are PSA of the Week Day. No, not Prostate Specific Antigen. That’s something else. This PSA is Public Service Announcement. Something that offers a worthwhile reminder on an important topic. By that measure, this one has to rank near the top of the chart.

We could get all heavy-handed and deliver a lecture that kids would just tune out, so let’s go with this instead. Same message, though.

This issue is a real yawner

The cover story is, anyway. It’s about the mystery of why we yawn. Researchers can’t quite figure it out. It’s a fascinating subject. Even so, expect to yawn as you read it. Plus a couple of dozen other intriguing topics, including all you’d ever want to know about cooking oils. Clip and save! This post is #1,111 on this blog.

This week’s PSA

WHAT you do is only semi-important. HOW you do whatever you do is the key. Ultimately, EVERYONE is important. Sure, we need brain surgeons. But we also need garbagemen. Or more correctly, garbage persons or garbage assistants. We need physicists and plumbers, trombone players and pastry chefs, wheat farmers and grave diggers and sculptors and apple growers and, as Martin …
