One of the things that Doug and I often lament is for all of the focus on technology and progress, many food safety problems that pop up are recurring issues: not understanding how the bugs move/grow, poor management, poor execution or just not caring.
Same stuff almost every time.
A lot can be learned by paying attention to the bad stuff that has happened in the past.
History matters in hockey too. Last night my kids stayed up with the hopes of seeing the Stanley Cup awarded live for the first time. Neither made it past the ten minute mark of the third, and San Jose forced a game six (so we have another chance Sunday).
During the game we talked a while about NHL players jersey numbers; Jack wears number 9 after finding out Gretzky wore that as a kid.
Gretzky chose that number because his idol Gordie Howe wore it.
