Star Spangled Banner
God Bless America !
O say can you see, by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep
Whеre the foe's haughty host in drеad silence reposes
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
When our land is illumined with Liberty's smile
If a foe from within strike a blow at her glory
Down, down with the traitor that dares to defile
The flag of her stars and the page of her story!
By the millions unchained, who our birthright have gained
We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained!
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
While the land of the free is the home of the brave
Francis Scott Key

- Independence Day Eve 2026
-
It's just another day sometimes included in the Independence Day festivities.
However, the day is not a federal holiday.
USPS, FedEx, and UPS are historically open.
Many government offices will be closed in conjunction with tomorrow's observance of Independence Day.
Residents should check the operating hours of motor vehicle offices, courts, municipal buildings because there is deviation in the schedules of local public facilities.
The Stock Market is closerd.
Some stores will close early.
Americans will have cookouts, travel about the nation, and observe fireworks in celebration.
The day did mark the end of that bloodbath known as the Battle of Gettyssburg in 1863.
All the banks and businesses remain open.
Services remain available. The "big" day is tomorrow andd we're having barbecue for the holiday.

- World UFO Day 2026
-
Today is one of the two days upon which World UFO Day is observed annually — June 24 or July 2 — to commemorate the existence of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and promote the search for extraterrestrial life.
Enthusiasts use the day to look at the skies, watch alien-themed movies, and advocate for government disclosure of UAP files.
The two dates arise 1947 sighting by private pilot Kenneth Arnold over Washington's Mount Rainier. This event sparked the modern "flying saucer" phenomenon and media frenzy.
July 2 marks the 1947 UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico. This date was established in 2001 by World UFO Day organizers to bring the global community together on a single dedicated day.
Regardless of when or where you mark the occasion I hope you will view the event as significant because I personally feel the idiotic government is marshalling what we may and may not know for sure.
There will ultimately be a reckoning for the liars we have running our show.

- National Go Barefoot Day 2026
-
There was a time when I was barefoot most of the time. Particularly in Aragona Village in Virginia Beach I found myself bare of foot and that the beestings simply were not sufficient impediment to put on shoes.
Today is National Go Barefoot Day.
It is observed each year on June first under the auspices of an organization called "Soles4Souls". The day is meant to bring attention to the millions of underprivileged children internationally who lack adequate footwear. While I agree with the concept of adequate footwear for all I don't see myself running out there to collect shoes for the children who don't have them.
I don't mean them any harm but my children are all flown from the coop and I'm not looking to replace any of them.
Happy National Go Barefoot Day.

- Social Media Day 2026

I'm not a fan of social media. I wonder why given my satisfaction with life otherwise ...
Attempting to decide on where I lost my need to be some constant gadfly in the lives of netizens everywhere.
Suffice it to say that I simply lack the interest in others to get out there and participate.
Yes, though Social Media Day takes place internationally each June 30 under the auspices of Mashable since 2010 I prefer to be left to my own devices. My friends say "But you blog" and yes, I do.
The difference is I don't live to share it with anyone on the earth preferring solitude to celebrating the revolutionary impact of digital platforms on global communication, culture, and business. So get out there and social medialize your self as much as you choose. I'll remain here silent in the background. Those I choose read the blog. Others may or may not if they have access. I don't seek approval nor participation.
Happy Social Media Day anyway.

- Birth of Diana, princess of Wales
-
I remember both the marriage and death of Diana, princess of Wales.
The tragedy and that blot upon the image of Prince Charles who has NO taste in women whatsoever lay low upon the realm and he remains a no taste nobody with his homely Camilla whom I hope had some redeeming value such as vice grip pussy or something equally noteworthy.
It's a very good thing that her majesty Queen Elizabeth Regina retained the throne for as long as possible to curtail any premature notions of suitability for King Charles and his ascension.
I suppose that the requirements for being king do not include comely women in your life as a prerequisite for the exhibition of good taste in a world gone mad with women who think they may become men just because "they want to".
All I can say is Queen Camilla my ass. She may be quite the lovely person but life STILL has a way of bringing out the absolute worst in people sometimes. I sure hope that history is more kind to King Charles than I will ever be.
Born this day in 1961, Princess Diana, consort (1981–96) of Prince Charles and mother of Princes William and Harry was widely admired for her charity work and style, and her 1997 death caused a massive outpouring of grief.
There is positively no show for good taste in the Royal King Charles of Great Britain.

- Death to International LGBT Pride Day 2026
-
International LGBT Pride Day is celebrated annually on June 28 to commemorate the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall riots in where else but New York Sodomite City.
This pivotal date serves as the global focal point for the broader LGBTQ+ Pride Month, flaunting the fight for what they viewed as civil rights, equality, and visibility of their antics while engaged in various perversions.
On June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Greenwich Village. Tired of systemic harassment, patrons and the local fag community fought back, sparking a series of protests that galvanized the modern gay liberation movement.
June 28 was established to remember this uprising.
Over the decades, it has grown from a single day of remembrance into a global celebration of diversity that many countries observe throughout the entire month of June. So many dicks. So many butt holes.
It is a time for the LGBTQ+ community to take center stage, honoring diversity in perversion and mistaken alleged "gender identity". These people tend to allow their alligator mouths to outdo their hummingbird asses.
Despite significant legal and social progress, the day remains a powerful platform to advocate for equal human rights, safety, and an end to discrimination against acquiring shit on your dick. Their feelings that they have "rights" to be perverts, sodomites, and carpet munchers have been met with an equal amount of disdain.
This day provides an opportunity to reflect on the history of the movement, remember those lost to hate crimes, and recognize the ongoing struggles for equality. Too bad the efforts cannot be directed into a direction of rehabilitation for the massive miscarried justice of same sex anything. There remains an element of society which will never accept that which is viewed as an abomination.
The day is Observed with Parades and Marches. Cities around the world host vibrant, colorful parades featuring rainbow flags, musical performances, and floats. Workshops, symposia, and cultural events are held to discuss LGBTQ+ history and ongoing civil rights efforts ...
AND of course these individuals remain rejected by a sector of the population who care about normalcy, decorum and propriety. That reputation gained by conservative reserved flaming.
Communities worldwide host localized festivals, picnics, and rallies that foster a sense of belonging and support. This generally backfires throughout the year in retrospect. The queers have no rights to be the embarrassment that they are.

March 27 is National Sunglasses Day.
The day is observed each March 27 under the auspices of The Vision Council to emphasize and iterate the importance of wearing ultraviolet UV protective sunwear and eyewear.
The protective nature of blue blocking sunglasses are the subject of numerous scientific studies and are a proof unto themselves.
I hope you will observe National Sunglasses Day by buying yourself a set of blue blockers then use them regularly.
Happy National Sunglasses Day.

- National Barcode Day 2026

Today is National Barcode Day.
It is an annual observance each June 26 to commemorate the historic day in 1974 when a 10-pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum became the first product ever scanned using a Universal Product Code aka UPC.
This revolutionary occurrence was at a Marsh supermarket in Troy, Ohio.
The technology was invented by IBM engineer George Laurer.
Since that first use over 50 years ago, barcodes have transformed into a global standard of commerce, supply chain logistics, and inventory management.
These implementations are used a lot in daily life, from grocery check out to boarding passes and packages.

- National Catfish Day 2026
-
Today is National Catfish Day. It has been observed each June 25th since 1987 under the auspices of President Ronald Reagan and Proclamation 5672 following a Joint Resolution by Congress in support of domestic catfish farmers. It highlights the growth and value of US farm-raised catfish, particularly in the Southern states like Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana.
The observance is so substantial in the agriculture sector that Congress later designated August as National Catfish Month. The channel catfish and blue catfish are the most commonly consumed farm species in the United States. So if you're like me you enjoy a nice mess of catfish every so often.
Happy National Catfish Day to you.

- Midsummer 2026
-
Midsummer is an ancient festival celebrating the summer solstice and the peak of the growing season.
A June occurrence, it marks the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
It is celebrated internationally, though it is most famous as a vibrant cultural holiday across Northern Europe.
The Maypole (Majstång) is central to the celebrations (especially in Sweden). This pole is decorated with birch leaves and flowers.
Communities and friends gather to dance and sing around it.
Tearing beautiful crowns made of fresh wildflowers and greenery is a staple activity, symbolizing fertility and new beginnings.
Traditional meals typically feature pickled herring, new potatoes with dill, gravlax, and fresh strawberries.
In countries like Denmark, Finland, and Norway, large bonfires are lit on the eve of the holiday to celebrate and ward off evil spirits.
In regions further north such as Finland and Sweden, the sun barely sets, and celebrations often spill out into the countryside.

- Melissa Rauch is 46 Years Young and Beautiful
-
When I was watching The Big Bang Theory I was taken with Bernadette the microbiologist paramour of the engineer character Howard Wolowitz and her various forays into the chastisement of her husband was hilarity incarnate.
Melissa Ivy Rauch was born in Marlboro, New Jersey.
She went to Marymount Manhattan College in New York City, where she received a BFA degree.
While going to school, Melissa performed stand-up comedy around Manhattan, and soon made a name for herself on the NYC comedy scene.
She did a one-woman show called The Miss Education of Jenna Bush in which she portrayed Jenna Bush Hager the former President's daughter, garnered critical acclaim and played to sold-out audiences.
Melissa resides in Los Angeles, California, with Winston Rauch, her husband and writing partner.
She is short of stature with curves and buxom features and a high pitched voice.
I have enjoyed her comedy over the years and wish her well with everything else she endeavors in life.

- World Rainforest Day 2026
-
World Rainforest Day is an initiative designed to raise awareness and inspire action to protect the world's rainforests.
Rainforests are incredibly dense vegetation forming lush ecosystems characterized by continuous canopies, high humidity, and massive amounts of rainfall—typically 80 to over 400 inches annually.
Spanning every continent except Antarctica, they cover less than 3% of the planet's surface but harbor over half of the world's plant and animal species.
Rainforests are broadly divided into two main categories:
Tropical Rainforests which are located closer to the equator. They are warm and frost-free year-round with temperatures averaging 68°F to 77°F. The Amazon Basin in South America is the largest tropical rainforest, spanning 6.7 million square kilometers.
Temperate Rainforests are found in cooler, mountainous, or coastal regions at higher latitudes such as the Pacific Northwest of North America or areas in New Zealand.
The Four Layers of Life typify rainforests and feature a highly structured vertical environment, with each level supporting completely distinct life forms
The Emergent Layer consists of the tallest trees that break through the canopy, reaching heights of up to 200 feet. Inhabitants include eagles, bats, and monkeys.
The canopy is a thick, overlapping roof of leaves and branches about 100 feet up. It acts as the "heart" of the rainforest and is home to the majority of its animals, including toucans, sloths, and tree frogs.
The understory is a dark, humid environment just beneath the canopy dominated by large-leaved shrubs and woody vines. It houses jaguars, leopards, and countless insects
The forest floor is almost completely deprived of sunlight with some 2% filters through.
This damp ground is covered in quickly decomposing organic matter, teeming with fungi, insects, and burrowing animals.
The global importance and threats affecting the Rainforests act as the Earth's natural regulators, stabilizing the global climate by absorbing vast amounts of carbon dioxide and producing about 20% of the world's oxygen. They also provide vital ingredients for modern medicine and regulate global weather patterns.
Despite their critical importance, rainforests face severe ongoing threats from industrial logging, cattle ranching, and agricultural clearing.
Organizations like the Rainforest Alliance work globally to protect these ecosystems, promote sustainable farming, and support forest-dwelling communities.
