- National Feral Cat Day 2026
-
We live in an incorporated municipality and have animal control laws which are somewhat applied to canines while felines seem to go their own way without any attempt at control.
By the classical definition feral cats are born outdoors and not socialized to humans while stray cats are socialized under their own terms and will allow you to feed them but shun all other activity.
Today is National Feral Cat Day.
It goes down each October 16 in an attempt to raise awareness about feral and community cats and promote humane solutions like Trap-Neuter-Return.
Me, I'm quite satisfied with the solution called headshot-dig hole-bury methodology.
I tried cohabitation but this devolved to drink my half and half and then loose a giant cat turd by my front door.
From then on it was war. All cats are required to vacate the premesis immediately without food or rest.
You just can't go around accepting food and giving thanks with feces.

- Get Smart About Credit Day 2026
-
I wasn't always "credit worthy".
It was a function of my lack of training in credit and finance matters as well as being less than responsible regarding these matters early on. A "good" credit score generally starts at 670 for FICO and 661 for VantageScore, placing you in a range that lenders typically view as lower-risk.
Today is national Get Smart About Credit Day.
It is observed on the third Thursday of October annually. The day to emphases recognition of the importance of financial literacy and credit management.
It is held under the auspices of the American Bankers Association since 2002.
Credit is important to build financial stability
Credit scores typically range from 300 to 850. What qualifies as "good" depends on the scoring model:
FICO Score:
Good: 670–739
Very Good: 740–799
Exceptional: 800–850VantageScore (3.0 / 4.0):
Good/Prime: 661–780
Excellent/Superprime: 781–850
The day promotes responsible borrowing, saving, and investing.
Why Good Credit Matters
A good credit score can help you:
Qualify for credit cards, auto loans, and mortgages with better interest rates.
Access higher credit limits and more favorable terms.
Improve approval odds, though lenders also consider income, debt, and employment.
How to Maintain or Reach Good Credit
Common factors influencing your score include payment history, amounts owed, credit age, inquiries, and credit mix. Consistent habits help:
Limit new credit applications.
Keep credit card balances low relative to limits.
Pay all bills on time.
Check credit reports for errors.
A good credit score reflects responsible borrowing behavior and increases access to favorable financial opportunities.

- Be Bald and Be Free Day 2026
-
They say about 2 out of 3 men have "male pattern baldness". Yes, I am in that group. Shall I go into a rousing rendition of "you are not alone"? The day celebrates a long cultural history of baldness, from ancient Rome and Egypt to modern icons like Bruce Willis and Michael Jorda
The concept of celebrating baldness is the idea of Thomas and Ruth Roy of Wellcat Herbs. They say about 2 out of 3 men have "male pattern baldness". Yes, I am in that group.
Shall I go into a rousing rendition of "you are not alone"? The day celebrates a long cultural history of baldness, from ancient Rome and Egypt to modern icons like Bruce Willis and Michael Jorda
The concept of celebrating baldness is the idea of Thomas and Ruth Roy of Wellcat Herbs. I for one would much prefer those long flowing blond locks of my youth. But I have never been one for rugs and hats and other ways to obscure the absence of hair on my massive pate.
Be Bald and Be Free Day is celebrated every year on October 14, honoring baldness, self‑acceptance, and the freedom of embracing a hair‑free look.
It encourages people to ditch wigs, hats, and cover‑ups and confidently celebrate their natural or chosen bald style.
It is said that God made very few perfect heads and he placed hair on all of the rest of them.
The day celebrates confidence, individuality, and the beauty of embracing a bald identity.

- No Bra Day 2026
-
I was once in radiographer training and studied mammography. It was here I learned breast cancer awareness and how it affects males and females.
No Bra Day happens each year on October 13 and women are encouraged to go braless as a means to encourage breast cancer awareness.
No Bra Day was originally held July 9, 2011 but moved to the 9th day of the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month which is October.
I for one view the bra as a necessary support garment given those women with whom I have consorted.
However, I also view it as a "ladies choice" item and will remain flexible toward that end as long as I am dealing with the subject of proper breast support in mixed company.
I try to remain delicate with delicate topics.

- Columbus Day 2026
-
I have a lot of experience with Columbus day having many Catholic friends who are also Italian.
Also, my preference for Italian women as superior in the dating pool have stirred me towards engaging various paramours toward engagements on this day.
Columbus Day is a US holiday commemoration of that arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas on October 12, 1492. It is officially observed on the second Monday of October.
The federal holiday is celebrated annually on the second Monday of October which makes it October 12, 2026 this year.
It was first proclaimed as an annual federal holiday in 1937 by President Franklin D Roosevelt, and moved to the second Monday in October under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act in 1971.
Many Italian-American communities celebrate the day to honor their cultural heritage and the achievements of Columbus, who was a native of Genoa, Italy.

- National Coming Out Day 2026
-
Faggots of the world UNITE.
Today is National Coming Out Day.
It happens each October 11 to support LGBTQIA+ idiots in coming out and living openly as if you won't take them out with extreme prejudice.
So get on out there and show everybody that shit on your dick.
You may wish to remember that I am out there and would keenly enjoy the opportunity to pop a .410 load or .45 cap in your pervert ass.
I have nothing for you except to remove you from that ethical world within which we once resided until you weirdos decided you could be male or female as an option and that we wouldn't rid ourselves of you and your deviant pathological inclinations.
Think again fags. Come on out. There are those of us who will be happy to take care of you.

- World Mental Health Day 2026
-
During the 1970s, South Carolina was involved with a major shift toward deinstitutionalization driven by civil rights movements, anti-psychiatry views, Medicaid expansion, and the rise of community-based mental health programs. Downsizing and shifting philosophy were the order of the day.
I was involved as a Mental Health Specialist and as such I operated within the Byrnes Clinical Center first on the fifth floor (chronic illness / custodial care) and then the third floor (acute medicine / surgery).
Today is World Mental Health Day.
It takes place each October 10 under the auspices of World Federation for Mental Health since 1992.
It is an international observance held each October 10 to raise awareness, reduce social stigmata, and initiate support for mental health education and patient advocacy.

- Posthumous birthday of John Lennon 2026
-
When I was a child in Aragona Village of Virginia Beach, Virginia The Beatles became a thing. One of the musicians in the group was John Lennon.
He was Born John Winston Lennon on October 9, 1940 in Liverpool, England.
He died very prematurely on December 8, 1980 in New York City from gunshot wounds administered by a whacked out fan named Mark David Chapman who shot him four times in the back and shoulder with a .38 Special revolver outside The Dakota apartment building in Manhattan, New York City.
Mr Lennon was rushed to Roosevelt Hospital and pronounced dead on arrival at 11:15 pm.
He was cremated and his cremains scattered in Central Park of New York City.
Mr Lennon’s last spoken words after being shot were "I'm shot", as he collapsed in the lobby of his New York City apartment building.
I've always been left feeling that his life was largely incomplete. I am also surprised at the contempt younger people have for the era of The Beatles in general. I once worked with a geologist who had nothing but vitriol to spew regarding The Beatles and the memory of those who have passed.
Today the 86th anniversary of John Lennon's birth. I would have like to see what was floating around in his musical creativity a bit longer than Mark David Chapman's bullets would allow.
Happy birthday in Heaven.

- International Octopus Day 2026
-
The tropical island phase of my childhood introduced me to much in the way of fish and marine species with which I engaged in study and observation.
One of those specimens in my collection were a few octopus samples which I found to be intelligent and interactive and fun. These were to be had in various coral reef container type objects like jars, cans, and such and I maintained a saltwater tank for these escapades.
An octopus is a soft-bod
ied, eight-limbed marine mollusk belonging to the class Cephalopoda and the order Octopoda. The the plural word for "octopus" underwent various enumerations based on current information at that time.
• Octopuses: The standard and most widely accepted English plural. (I sometimes bastardized this to octopussies because I was always attempting to be the comedian.
• Octopodes: A Greek-derived plural (oktōpodes). (This was my preferred plural).
• Octopi: A common historical mistake assuming a Latin. second-declension ending, though actually incorrect because the word is Greek in origin.
International Octopus Day is observed each October 8 under the auspices of The Octopus News Magazine Online since 2007 to honor the unique biology, intelligence, and ecological importance of octopuses. It marks the start of International Cephalopod Awareness Days which run through October 12.
Octopi are interesting animals which can interact with you at a surprisingly insightful manner. Should I ever find myself back living in the Florida keys or somewhere with ample habitat I will likely engage them as pets once again.

- Birthday of Simon Cowell 2026
-
Simon Phillip Cowell is an English television personality, record executive and businessman. I recall his appearances on those programs featuring him that I used to watch regularly but now only see in syndication and on various video recordings.
Mr Cowell has judged
The British television talent competition shows
Pop Idol (2001–2003),
The X Factor (2004–2010; 2014–2018),
Britain's Got Talent (2007–present),
As well as the American television talent competition shows
American Idol (2002–2010),
The X Factor (2011–2013), and
America's Got Talent (2016–present)
Mr Cowell founded the British entertainment company Syco Entertainment in 2005, as well as its defunct predecessor, Syco Music (also known as S Records) in 2002.
He is the creator of the X Factor and Got Talent television franchises, which have been adapted internationally.
I recall a certain anger in his disposition which automagically disappeared when his son was born.
I'm feeling as though the child has influenced his life and immersed him in positivity because he is now a pleasant demeanor whereas he was once abrupt and abrasive.
He was born in Lambeth, London, United Kingdom October 7, 1959. He is 66 years young.
Happy birthday and continued success.

- National Plus Size Appreciation Day 2026
-
I have consorted with a number of plus sized women in my day.
This is primarily a result of limited choices but I must say a few of them were far beyond satisfactory over the years.
Today is National Plus Size Appreciation Day.
It is observed each October 6th under the auspices of Danielle White of Women Rock, Inc since 2017.
In our never ending pursuit of self-love, body image, and challenge traditional beauty standards — which physical attraction rarely calls forth it makes a point of elegance, talent, and the economic buying power of plus-size individuals.
Affectionately known as 'buffarillos' terms like voluptuous, curvy, and full-figured are common, more flattering ways to describe a plus-size body.
Me, I go for the ample female form inasmuch as I am pretty ample myself.
About the only thing my personal interest will reject are school teachers.
Get along little dogies.

- National Do Something Nice Day 2026
-
I am known to be kind when I'm able. Sometimes people tick me off like when they think they know enough to take down my web resources as if I'm as stupid as they are. All-in-all I try to get along and share what I can with my fellow person and not hurt or damage the property of others.
I wish everyone attempted such consideration.
Today is National Do Something Nice Day.
It is observed each October 5.
It is an "unofficial holiday" meant to spread positivity, practice empathy, and brighten someone else's day through small, intentional acts of kindness.
Doing something nice for someone can be as simple as sending a quick text of appreciation or letting a car merge into your lane.
You might send a text to message an old friend out of the blue just to say hello.
You might compliment a coworker or stranger and tell them you like their style.
You might leave a good online review to assist a small local business in ecommerce.
You might exhibit patience by allowing someone to go ahead of you in a line or traffic.
It never hurts to extend a bubble of kindness around your fellow person in the name of empathetic humanity.

- National Taco Day 2026
-
I was once a big fan of Taco Bell. I was surprised to discover the popularity of the establishment in Southern California in the late 1970s though the mid 1980s ...
But it was a force with which to be reckoned with along side my personal favorite of all times, Naugles.
Nowadays I don't patronize the establishment with their stupid workers, questionable hygiene, failure to buy wholesome ingredients and infuriating kiosk with which they expect YOU to take your OWN order.
The management is obviously delusional or stupid or both IMHO.
Today is National Taco Day because of a promotion by the fast food establishment Del Taco — where I was also known to get lunch from time to time.
It's sad to note that the root of the day is promotional and not some historical or cultural anniversary.
October 4th became National Taco Day in 2009 due to a promotional marketing campaign by the fast-food chain Del Taco, rather than any specific historical or cultural anniversary. It was changed to the first Tuesday in October due to that fickle thing called marketing people.
Marketing people are highly over rated in general.

- Life is about getting past things

Yeah, as I'm maintaining a civil disposition toward those with whom I interact I must admit that I'm really writing some rather nasty countermeasures for hack attempts.
I feel that in life we should try to move forward by accepting what has happened, learning the lesson, and refusing to let past pain control your present.
Letting go protects your energy: Holding onto old hurts, anger, or regret drains the mental focus needed for today.
Letting go avoids repeating cycles: Dwelling on mistakes without reframing them keeps you stuck in familiar, unhelpful patterns.
Letting go allows us to open up to the present. It makes us available for true opportunities and peace only exist right now, not in the mirror.
Letting go permits acceptance of reality whereby we may acknowledge that the past is finished and cannot be rewritten.
Obtaining lessons from reality allows us to view failures or setbacks as feedback and teachers rather than permanent proof of your worth.
Those who practice forgiveness evolve to Let go of grudges against yourself and others to release the emotional burden.
Becoming grounded in today allows the use of simple mindfulness or sensory exercises to bring your attention back to the immediate moment.
I intend to utilize that same unfairness leveled upon me with malice aforethought.
I'm rather inclined to attack others for attacking me.
Have a nice day fuckers.
