Soap on a Rope While salacious rumors have been started about the much maligned soap-on-a-rope, it’s origin story is actually pretty virtuous. The first tethered bar was invented purely for functional purposes: Okay, it was to prevent the user from dropping said soap but also to keep it fairly dry so it didn’t dissolve into a soggy blob. Anyway, the English Leather company came up with a way to keep the soap fairly dry and solid. Since then it’s become a bit of a kitschy novelty, but consider the seriously useful application of the attached cord before you judge. Most importantly, it’s a money saver as the soap will most certainly last longer. Then there’s also the cleanliness factor (as it’s not sitting in standing water and won’t leave a trail of scum on the ledge). Of course, by wearing it on your wrist, there is no danger of dropping it.

In 1901, the wheels began turning for a young Milwaukee man named William S. Harley, who had the idea for a motorized bicycle. He drew a blueprint of a small engine to fit on a bike, and over the next two years, he and childhood friend Arthur Davidson worked on the design. Davidson’s two brothers soon joined the team. They built the first motorcycles in a backyard shed. In 1905, their first dealership opened in Chicago. As business grew, the company hired more employees and built a factory in Milwaukee. Police departments began ordering Harleys for their officers, and the U.S. military bought thousands of bikes during both world wars, where troops used them to deliver messages between units. After World War II, legions of leisure riders took to the roads, cementing the popular brand as an American icon. The company’s bar and shield logo in orange, black and white is one of the most recognizable emblems in the world. Harley-Davidson motorcycles are sometimes called “hogs,” a nickname that began in the 1920s, when one of the company’s winning racing teams carried their mascot, a pig, on their victory laps.

Lure ‘Em In Open up an angler’s tackle box, and there’s likely to be a few fishing lures inside. An alternative to live bait, lures come in a variety of styles. Crankbait: Also called cranks or plugs, these popular lures are made of plastic or wood and look like bait such as small fish or frogs. An attached piece, or lip, on the lure controls how it moves in the water. Cranks usually have multiple hooks. Jigs: A hook with a weighted metal head that allows it to sink, this type of lure is made for jigging, a style of fishing where the rod is lifted and lowered back down repeatedly, creating a dancing movement to attract fish. To make it more appealing, the lure’s hook can be adorned with feathers, a fake worm, or live bait. Spinnerbait: These lures have small oval blades that spin like a propeller when pulled through the water. Usually sporting a fringed “skirt” made of strands of rubber or animal hair, a spinner’s horizontal movements are irresistible to fish such as bass, perch and pike. Spoons: One of the oldest lures used was a common utensil—-a spoon with its handle removed. Modern spoons are simply curved metal lures with a hook. The curved shape makes the lure wobble side to side, resembling injured bait to hungry fish. Flies: To make these lures used for fly fishing, anglers tie fur, feathers or thread around a fishhook so that it resembles an insect or crustacean. Because of the skill involved, tying flies is considered an art. It Takes Someone Special to Be Dad Father’s Day is a day of honoring fatherhood and paternal bonds, as well as the influence of fathers in society. This celebration was brought by the Spanish and Portuguese to Latin America, where 19 is often still used for it, though many countries in Europe and the Americas have adopted the U.S. date, which is the third Sunday of June. Father’s Day was not celebrated in the United States, outside Catholic traditions, until the 20th century. As a civic celebration in the U.S., it was inaugurated in the early 20th century to complement Mother’s Day by celebrating fathers and male parenting. After Anna Jarvis’ successful promotion of Mother’s Day in Grafton, West Virginia, the first observance of a day honoring fathers was held on July 5, 1908, in Fairmont, West Virginia, in Dad the Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South, now known as Central United Methodist Church. Grace Golden Clayton was mourning the loss of her father, when in December 1907, the Monongah Mining Disaster in nearby Monongah killed 361 men, 250 of them fathers, leaving around a 1,000 fatherless children. Clayton suggested that her pastor Robert Thomas Webb honor all those fathers. Fatherhood in America is changing. Today, fathers who live with their children are taking a more active role in caring for them and helping out around the house, and the ranks of single fathers have grown significantly in recent decades. At the same time, more and more children are growing up without a father in the home. The changing role of fathers has introduced new challenges as dads juggle the competing demands of family and work. Here are some key findings about fathers from Pew Research Center. More dads are staying home to care for their kids. Dads see parenting as central to their identity. Dads are just as likely as moms to say that parenting is extremely important to their identity. Some 57 percent of fathers said this in a 2015 survey by the Center, compared with 58 percent of mothers. Like moms, many dads also seem to appreciate the benefits of parenthood:54 percent reported that parenting is rewarding all of the time, as did 52 percent of moms. Meanwhile, 46 percent of fathers and 41 percent of mothers said they find parenting enjoyable all of the time.
