Hugh Cowley Insurance Agency

Happy New Year from all of us at Farmers. On New Year’s Eve, will you be hitting the town or counting down from the couch?

It’s National Cookie Day, which begs the questions: thin and crispy or soft and chewy?

Whether you love or loathe it, tonight ( or, technically, 2:00 a.m. EST) marks the end of daylight saving time — and a return to standard time. Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour — unless you live in Hawaii or Arizona, which stay on standard time all year.

Sorry, pups. Today, we’re all cat people. Toe beans, swishy tail, nighttime shenanigans and all — we love ’em. Happy National Cat Day! Ask me about pet insurance if you’re curious.

Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer (sigh), but the holiday stems from the late 19th-century labor union movement and its efforts to honor American workers.
