To celebrate National Taco Day!

So rush right out and enjoy yourself a taco!  National chains like Taco Bell will want your business, but don't let them be the only ones. I recall that Jack in the Box used to sell tacos by the three-some, and my sister loved Dairy Queen's tacos (though, I think they only happened in the Texas version of the franchise). But there are also some regional favorites like Taco Tico, and Taco Bueno that would like your business too.

Crunchy shell or soft taco, enjoy the Mexican sandwich today! After all, it is "National Taco Day"!

Always on the lookout for new and unusual holidays to celebrate, today I had to look no further than my early morning news. One of my favorite local reporters, who is always also on the lookout for the unusual, discovered that today is the 13th annual Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day. I don't know whether the Bubble Wrap industry or the packing and shipping industry came up with the idea or if it was a joint effort, but what could make one's day happier than to spend it self-soothing to the solid sounds of popping pockets of air. Hope you enjoy Steve Harris' report as much as I did:

So, "AAARRRR"

And now, for something completely different:

It's National Cheesecake Day. Yes, I said "cheese" cake, not "beef" cake. So the question remains -- did you have a slice of heaven today?

Happy National Drive-Thru Day! I believe it to be aimed at Fast-Food Drive-thru windows (and not Banks) because of it's history in Jack In the Box. But celebrate the Drive-thru!

My children are home from school today. My blushing bride (who works as a reading aide at the school in a neighboring town) is home from school today. No, they are not all sick. No, they are not playing hookey. It's a holiday. Didn't you know?

Happy Hunting

Do not despair if you missed September 19 (That'd be talk like a pirate day, matey). And if you need something else to keep you entertained. Just put on your hep-cat threads and go crazy, baby. Today is "Talk like a Beat Day."

If Jethro can do it, so can you, man. Be cool, get groovy, and lay down some smooth tones, dig?

Yes, tomorrow is international talk like a pirate day. And as tempting as the proposition might be, I will not be preaching in pirate-speak. But have fun with it anyway.
