Jan 1 2020 - New Day Ahead

All the world's clocks have turned to the new year.  This is the day we greet everyone with special greetings and wishes for a good life in the year ahead.

Then we return to our regular daily greetings.  Here are some creative daily greetings I found on a blog, along with the blog's explanations. 
Yo!
This funny greeting came from 90s hip-hop culture. Today, it is commonly used in America.
Are you OK? / Alright mate?
It is a British slang version of “Hello. How are you?” If your friend asks you one of these questions, respond “Yeah, fine”.
Howdy!
This weird greeting is an abbreviation of “How do you do?” widely used in some regions of Canada and America.
Sup? / Whazzup?
All teenagers know that this greeting is a short version of “What’s up?”

When we look ahead to what to expect from 2020, what comes to mind on a leap year is the Olympics.  The Summer Olympics begin on Friday July 24 and complete on Sunday, August 9 in Tokyo. The last time Tokyo had the Olympics was 1964. 

What are our pictures today?  We visited the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls yesterday, and found this new sculpture installation.  Metal walls with multi-colour leds shining on them, making rainbow lines.  It is titled Niagara Strait and is by artist Gordon Reeve.  The oak leaf is sitting on lights in the snow.
