- Fresh Veggies Day 2025
-
I don't eat all the vegetables that I should. My description of my dietary habits would certainly gravitate towards "carnivore" were it left up to me.
I feel that I make up for any shortcomings with suppliments and I try to eat vegetables as often as I can.
Today is Fresh Veggies Day.
It is observed each June 16 in commemoration of the nutritional value of fresh vegetables and their importance to human health.
Fresh vegetables are the said to be the best sources of micronutrients which augment metabolism, growth, development, and disease prevention.
The natural fiber content in vegetables helps prevent mechanical bowel issues up to and including colon cancer.
So get out there and consume fresh vegetables as often as you can.

- Nature Photography Day 2025
-
I was once a nature kind of guy. I would tromp around the local woodlands and all up and down the river in search of a little elevated heartbeat and sweat.
Today is Nature Photography Day held under the auspices of the North American Nature Photography Association since 2006.
It is observed on June 15 promote nature and enjoy capturing it at its very best over the summer.
Nature is ubiquitous and you enjoy it when you encounter it and record those moments for posterity.
Back in my photography days I used a GAF-LCS and a Yashica TL-ElectroX. These were film based SLR cameras. I recall the buying of film, the processing costs, and wondering just where I went wrong on the photographic front ... Nowadays, I am known to catch a sloppy digital photo every now and then with my cell. Nature Photography Day gives rise to memories of those times and places I used to prowl camera at the ready — as I approach the autumn of my years.
The North American Nature Photography Association created Nature Photography Day in 2006 to encourage people to learn about and enjoy capturing the beauty of nature.
You only go through once. Try to go for the gusto in everything you do.
Happy Nature Photography Day !

- International Bath Day 2025
-
The act of bathing takes several environmental forms.
Soaking in a tub. Rinsing in a shower. The river. The lake. The Ocean.
There are so many variants, some strictly hygienic forms others mostly recreation.
I have a jacuzzi bath tub and a water closet among my facilities and I make use of both of them.
Today is International Bath Day.
The day is supposed to correspond to that on which famous Greek mathematician, scientist, and scholar Archimedes discovery of the weight of water displacement being equal to the weight of something being submerged ... to which he declared 'Eureka'. (I have found it)
So while my baths are more of a hygenic nature I am sure to take a moment to maintain clean. I'm one of these guys who is self aware and pursuant to acceptable levels of personal maintenance for health and well being. I have been known to overdo it on the clean side of the equation.
It's just something I feel is important, so I pursue the bath or shower vigorously. There's something about being fresh out the bath or shower that just makes you more ... presentable.

- National Blame Someone Else Day 2025
-
I recall the infantile days of affixing blame to others for anything and everything.
The blame game was one of those passages which marked maturity as far as I am concerned.
When I stopped trying to blame others I immediately assumed much more in the way of responsibility and forward motion in my own endeavors.
Today is National Blame Someone Else Day.
It is held on the first Friday the 13th of the year, which is June 13, 2025 this year.
The day is said to have roots in a particular Friday the 13th in 1982 when one Anne Moelle’s alarm clock failed to go off resulting in a full day of bad luck.
So, now we have the opportunity to enjoy an entire day of blaming other people for any and everything that is, has, or will go wrong in our own sphere of existence.
But in the end can we really sustain such behavior in the name of practicality?
Happy National Blame Someone Else Day. Try to take a little responsibility for your own life.

On October 14, 2025 I will cease using the Windows operating system. It has been a travesty of sand nigger run egomaniac billionaire owned crap with nothing but slow throughput and a never ending stream of user limiting factors and compatibility issues.
If you like Microsoft you're a GUI needy crippled lamer.
I will finally escape the forced compliance of the microsoft nazis which has annoyed me since my faculty member days way back when. I cannot stand this company nor their products at all.
My alternative will be Ubuntu server.
Yes, boys and girls some of us can slap a sophisicated enterprise server on a desktop machine and go about our business just fine and dandy with exceptional control and capability.
So all of you Microsoft addicts go right on being their little pet captives. I am moving on to greener pastures and software that actually works WELL.
Suffice it to say I have grown tired of some stupid company of control freaks thinking they run my show with their dumbass faulty software and bourgeois idiot owner out to kill everyone of us with his insane population reduction notions.
I'll get to control my own firewall without some stupid company interfering. I'll get to configure my network in accordance with my own wishes period. I'll release myself from this nothingness which is being a Microsoft customer.

- Say Hi Day 2025
-
Yeah, I'm not one of those real bubbly types out to meet and greet all the live long day.
I will engage others at various levels and I do like a spontaneous joke periodically but I am not in the habit of saying hi to everyone I meet.
I do this occasionally, however.
Today is Say Hi Day.
It is observed each year on June 11 in memory of Joseph Anthony Cinotti.
He was a special needs teen who died at the age of 15 and was known for his greeting of everyone he met throughout his life. His upbeat personality endeared him to those he encountered.
Say Hi Day is a public awareness campaign that aims to remind people that a simple greeting can improve someone’s day, bring a smile to their face, or change their mood.
An act of welcome can make all the difference.
Try to say hi when you can.

- EHS Day 2025
-
Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity is rather a vacuous concept where those things which eminate from technological additions to the home adversely affect those in their radiation fields.
Things like wireless networking and cathode ray tubes and even analog cell phones — or simply the fields surrounding electromechanical circuitry.
The name given to problems created with people who exist in such enviornments is electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome. (EHS)
This gave rise to EHS Day, which is now observed annually each June 10 since 2020 under the asupices of a company called DefenderShield.
This illness does not affect everyone and those ill effects experienced include mental and physicial health impacts which are both known and unknown and include depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders and ADHD symptomatology.
All in all we who do not suffer these ill effects may view it all as a lot of bunk. Should you find yourself immersed in EHS I'm quite sure you feel to the contrary.
Regardless, I never belittle anyone's perception of illness and so I recognize electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome and hope you do not suffer from it.
Our increasing dependence on technology may see an increase in this scourge of modern humanity.
You should actively avoid close proximity of your cell phone to your head; opting for bluetooth ear pieces and speaker outputs instead.
The late Lee Atwater, Bush/Quayle era chairman of the Republican National Committee, could have used such information as he predated the digital cell phone, spending hours with an analog device upside his head wheeling and dealing for the Republican party until he ended up with a brain tumor which ended his life at 40 years old — even though it was characterized by his physicians as 'benign' and 'nonmalignant'.

- Michael J Fox Birthday 2025
-
When I was a much younger man I was introduced to Michael J Fox portraying Michael J Keaton in a sitcom called Family Ties on the teevee.
Michael J Fox was born on June 9, 1961. He is a Canadian actor who begam acting when he was 15.
In 1991 he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease but it hasn't been able to keep him down.
The long-term degenerative neurological disorder aka Parkinson's disease aka Parkinson's is a neurodegenerative disease primarily of the central nervous system, affecting both motor and non-motor systems. It features symptoms which develop gradually with non-motor issues become more prevalent as the disease progresses. The debilitating motor symptoms are collectively called parkinsonism. They include tremors, slow movements, rigidity as well as unstable posture. The non-motor symptoms develop later in the disease. They include behavioral changes or neuropsychiatric problems with sleep abnormalities, psychosis, and mood swings.
He campaigns tirelessly for research into the disease and remains hopeful for treatment options beyond those he presently implements. Mr Fox is married with four children and is most certainly a force with which to be reckoned.
Today is his birthday. He is 63 years young.
Happy Birthday to you !

While I have never had to suffer the experience of having a brain tumor invade a loved one I have had interactions with those who have had this horrific experience.
Depending on what may be affected in this human circuitry, memory, biofeedback triggers, and even that essence of who you are to include all manner of sensory and motor deficits may be encountered.
If you become friends with a stage 4 terminal patient you are likely to suffer losing them sooner rather than later.
I have been known to cry both for and with these people as they endure that which may not be surmountable to the bitter end.
Even good outcomes can leave devastation of the central nervous system and the victim with profound secondary affectations.
Today is World Brain Tumor Day.
It is held each June 8 to raise awareness of brain tumors.
The stages of brain cancer mimic those of other carcinoma only the brain controls much to fall into operational failures because of growths within it. So first of all if you know someone with a brain tumor they are a suitable subject to which you may direct your charitable endeavors.
I would spend time with them.
If you have subject matter expertise it may or may not be a good idea to share this based on the wishes of the attending physician. All you can really do is offer your support and assistance if you can and keep them in your prayers.
World Brain Tumor Day makes reference to and brings to the fore one of the most difficult conditions you may encounter as a human being.

- National Yo-Yo Day 2025
-
I remember times long ago at Grandma Ida's house playing with Duncan tops and Yo-yos.
It was a pleasant interlude from which I really didn't gain much in the way of skills but it killed a lot of time which would otherwise have been exceedingly boring.
Grandma had a long hall from which you could duck into a bedroom and that was where I plotted my various toy endeavors which meant nothing to anyone but me.
Today is National Yo-Yo Day. It is held under the auspices of one Daniel Volk since 1990.
The yo-yo has been around some two millenia and I personally believe they began as Filipino constructs which made their way across the playtimes of children everywhere. I always bought Duncan yo-yos not even knowing who Donald F Duncan Sr was in real life.
The June 6 date was supposed to correspond to the birthday of Donald F Duncan Sr. He was born on June 8.
So break out that yo-yo you have stashed and wow the crowds everywhere.
Happy National Yo-Yo Day to you.

- Thank You Day 2025
-
Something I try to do frequently is thank others for their kind indulgence of me.
I know I can be a pill and a sore spot in their day so on those occasions when I can make my gratefulness known I try to dutifully say "thank you".
Today is Thank You Day.
It goes down each year on June fifth in Great Britain since 2021 in appreciation of those who do for others.
We should have a similar observance here but I think the bulk of the populace realize just how much of a farce the handling of the COVID-19 thing actually was when the administration became Joe Biden's responsibility.
Ostensibly this was for actions performed in the COVID-19 plandemic which was largely the result of a stupid incoming national administration out to use it as a control mechanism with no consideration of proper health care nor good advice for those affected.
It is celebrated with the ususal party fare in the United Kingdom communities which host tartan tea parties, picnics, and barbecue parties.
Personally, Thank You Day is better suited for something that wasn't handled so exceedingly badly as the COVID-19 mess because THAT debacle should go down as a mark of shame for the country in the annals of history .
Community heroes are worth recognizing. Though I don't agree with everything he does, I still think Trump should have remained in charge over the democrats and that senile carrot Joe Biden with his criminal family. Boo Joe Biden and ALL the democrats. Boo medical fraudster and traitor Anthony Fauci.
Happy Thank You Day.

- International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression 2025
-
Nothing infuriates me more than child abuse. Particularly when the child is younger and the perps adults and supposedly charged with caring for the child.
As an example, I give you young Scotty McMillan who was murdered by his step father with the assistance of his biological mother. Talk about dick crazy females ...
Though it's inconceivable that a mother would torture her young son to death, the men are usually much worse in their pursuit of clearing the nest of offspring not of their issue — which was largely how this appeared.
Today is International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression.
It is observed each June 4 to make known the pain and suffering of innocent children thoughtout the world who are victimized by someone older, stronger, and usually in control of their existence. It also promotes the idea of ending all forms of violence against children.
I would never enact violence toward any child. It simply is not in me. I would think all of the men of the world might take a similar stance, but as Scotty McMillan so painfully proved this simply is not the case.
Be kind to those children you encounter because you were once a child. Rest in peace Scotty McMillan, Innocent Child Victim of Aggression.

- Love Conquers All Day 2025
-
Long ago I was a romantic.
Those days went down hard and never returned. It seems that the ulterior motives of people come into play and overshadow any and everything otherwise.
When you have a lot of cash and posessions it's natural for people to find you attractive.
Sometimes the attraction is welcomed. Other times it is not. Suffice it to say that I resisted all efforts to hook up and lost at every attempt I personally made at going for the gusto.
I must have been going for those persons who were incompatible yet I didn't see it.
In the end it's all okay — although I find myself sometimes awaiting the large hispanic boy with blond hair approaching me and asking me if I recall Ana from Tiajuana in the early 1980s.
Today is Love Conquers All Day.
It is observed each June 3 annually and promotes cherishing our loved ones. It is said that life is tough and easier with which to cope with your loved ones by your side.
So regardless if your approach is Biblical or scientific love conquering all is not a far stretch for human beings.
I like the company of a pretty, smart woman every now and then. I simply cannot fathom why people would hook up with some fugly barfly without intellect.
Must be that target rich enviornment and what you construe to be yours.
Must be that different drum beckoning me.
