Guess what, everyone? Today is Earth Day! Yawn. Shrug. *eye roll*
Okay, okay. We get it. Every day is dedicated to something. National Rubber Eraser Day. National Waffle Day. There’s even a National Hug a Plumber Day — which is actually kinda legit because plumbers probably deserve an extra hug or two.
Behind every national and international day of recognition, there’s a story and the Earth Day story happens to be pretty cool. The very first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970 and according to the activists who started it, “it organized itself.”

Get ready for a full Lake Travis!
Early this morning, the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) settled an agreement with the Northern Atlantic Iceberg Authority (NAIA) for the purchase and transport of an iceberg to Lake Travis.
The iceberg selection team has located three possible candidates that are the right size and shape to make the trek from Greenland to Lake Travis. After final calculations on size and weight are determined, the lucky iceberg to land in LT will be announced.
Scheduled for the first week of May, the three-week journey will begin west of Greenland in Baffin Bay. The iceberg will be lassoed by large tow boats that will pull the massive ice cube through the ocean waters. They’ll head south along the East Coast of the United States, through the North Atlantic Ocean, down and around Florida through the Gulf of Mexico and up to Galveston.
