Top o’ the Mornin’ to Ya! – Episode 18

I’ve been researching my family tree for quite some time and found out that I am in fact a quarter Irish.  Now, I have a legitimate excuse to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this weekend.  Dan McMullen, our Scheduler at the Trojan building, apparently doesn’t need an excuse as evidenced by his garb earlier in the week….

Needless to say, I harassed him a little bit.  Nice mug!  He even has a green notebook. 

Fun Irish Facts:

• According to some historians, over 40% of all American presidents have had some Irish ancestry.

• A single day of good weather that pops up in a long stretch of bad days is known in Ireland as a "pet day."

            We could apply this to Seattle; the weather here has been total poo lately.

•  In 1859, Irish scientist John Tyndall was the first to correctly explain why the sky is blue. The sun puts out a full spectrum of light colors – but your eyes are most sensitive to blue and red/purple colors. Molecules in the air scatter the sun’s blue light faster than they scatter its red light. A day-time sky without clouds looks blue because the sun is close to you, and relatively little of the blue light has been scattered. You see red and orange colors at sunset because the light must travel a greater distance to you, and all the blue light has been refracted away from your line of sight by the time the sun’s light hits you.

          Speaking of color, we are a G7 CertifiedMaster Printer and are skilled at Color  

             Management.

• Baileys Irish Cream, which was launched in Ireland in the early 70s is now the most popular liqueur in the world.

          Did you know we manufacture a lot of beer, wine and alcohol packaging? Well, we do 

            and we’re quite good at it. 

For those who might also celebrate, have fun!  And remember to call us for all your holiday printing and packaging needs.
