- National Caviar Day 2024
-
In my day I've consumed more than my fair share of caviar.
It was an acquired taste whereby I had a little here and there with thin slices of lemon and perhaps capers as well as some rather high end saltines. I would stand around and converse with those with whom I conducted business affairs and it was generally a subdued quiet time for interaction quite unlike the raucous engagements I often found myself in otherwise.
The champagne served with it — though said to be truly excellent — wasn't particularly my speed whereas I preferred iced water myself.
I could often be found lingering around the iced plates of Beluga, Olma's Kaluga, and Osetra Russian caviars after I had become fully indoctrinated by my uppity familiars. Eventually, I had acquired a different tin for every brand I had eaten. I wonder where they are now ...
Today is National Caviar Day.
It is held each July 18 annually and celebrates the roe of the sturgeon.
Now I am not one to turn all hoity toity over food items and I certainly gravitated away from that culture over time. However, I am known to partake of a little caviar periodically and can make the distinction between it and that which is "roe" but not caviar.
So if you're so inclined I invite you to partake should the opportunity arise. Especially if you've never had the experience before. However, this being said it is not all it was to me early on.
Happy National Caviar Day !

- Birthday of My Grandma Ida
-
Ida Lou Whetstone Williamson was my paternal grand parent and at one time I thought she was the only one on my daddy's side of the family who really loved me. Over the years I've attempted to temper my attitude with doses of reality as tolerated and I am still left feeling the entire concept of playing favorites is truly abhorrant to the family model.
Suffice it to say my Grandma Ida loved us all equally and never hesitated to show it.
She was an accomplished home maker and cook in the traditions of country living and family. She suffered greatly on the passing of her husband, my grandaddy Jim Williamson, Sr., who I really did not feel cared anything for me personally.
Perhaps I'm wrong but there was too much favoritism on that side of the family and I have issues which continue with passing time despite my best efforts to quell any and all harsh thoughts regarding my ancestors.
My Grandma Ida was born July 17, 1905 and this would have been her 119th year had she lived to this day — having passed October 20, 1985 in my grief stricken presence after a hard fought eleven year battle with Alzheimer's dementia.
I have missed that special person my grandma was in my life as time has progressed.
Rest in peace.

- World Emoji Day 2024
-
Emoji's are infantile graphic and/or text based characters called "emoticons" meant to convey feelings which originated in Japanese text messaging.
I'm afraid that the concept of emojis and emoticons has exploded over the years with many entire character sets coming out for inclusion in your SMS text messaging and emails along with other aspects of a trite and trendy nothingness for which we have become renoun due to the influence of various dumbasses.
Today is World Emoji Day. An observance to celebrate your obsession over these ubiquitous graphic icons which pop up everywhere. Yes, I have been known to utilize them in the past but as I progress in this existence they become more an item of scorn and less something I view as useful.
However, the kiddies among us like them and the immature adults as well — so should you find yourself liking the emoji as both a communication and art form you're in good company.
Happy World Emoji Day pussy.

- World Snake Day 2024
-
I used to be terrorized in the presence of any snake. While the years have tempered this over reaction I still need to see them first when possible.
Today is World Snake Day. It is observed each July 16 annually in an effort to increase awareness regarding the over 3,500 snake species that exist internationally.
So whether it is a venomous or nonvenomous species, I try to respect the animals and allow them to exist in their habitat. After all, we should not encroach on their place and kill them just for being there.
In my old age I become tolerant of the various species sharing the planet. It's far better than that person I was trying to kill anything and everything I encountered. I think growing up has a lot to do with your attitudes towards nature in general. Those animals I once viewed as a tresspassers I now see as precious to the Earth. Happy World Snake Day.

- Trump Assassination Attempt 2024
-
I watched with dismay the assassination attempt of MAGA candidate Donald Trump on live television Saturday evening. My dismay quickly turned to rage when I consider all the calls for his assassination by the left and stupid woke negro Maxine Waters with all the little fat woke white lesbian bitches dressed like men floating on the various video sites.
This is the left's modus operandi and quite frankly, I feel it is past time to hold them accountable.
The Secret Service stated that the shooter had fired "from an elevated position outside of the rally venue". It is said that the gunman had fired eight shots.
Law enforcement officials recovered an AR-15-type semiautomatic rifle from a deceased white male they believe was the gunman, according to two law enforcement officials. I keep wondering how he was able to scale a close-in adjacent building with a rifle in the presence of the Secret Service. I am left with a question of DEI incompetence in this matter.
The child assassin, one Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, PA remains without known motive. The Secret Service has not said how they killed the shooter and it wasn’t known if he had any accomplices.
The Butler County sheriff stated that an adult male spectator was killed likely attending the rally with his family. He further stated said the man had been in the bleachers when he was shot and that he believed the man had died at the scene.
Two others were critically injured and airlifted to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, according to a hospital spokesman. The authorities did not immediately release further information on the spectators’ injuries.
As the left cries "he missed" and "he is to blame" and "hoax" I go back and look at all the threats from the left and calls for assassination and presently find justice totally lacking in The Republic. I personally think that GITMO or a firing squad is the most appropriate place for Maxine Waters, MSNBC, Schumer, Pelosi and their leftist libtard ilk.
I also feel summary execution to be an appropriate adjunct for anyone involved the an assassination attempt. I'm now prepared to go to war against the left for their haughty position of thinking they are both correct and capable. Boo !
I don't know, call me intolerant, but I didn't ever pose the scenario of Joe Biden being put out of his senile non compos mentis misery. What have we allowed the left to turned us into. A bunch of pussy Republicans unable to do anything meaningful and constructive in the face of advesaries who wish us dead. Cowardice and collaboration with the left is where I see all too many Republicans. Bipartisan my ass. They want your ruination.

- Pandemonium Day 2024
-
Pandemonium is a word used to describe a condition or scene of noisy confusion. It is valueless noise. It represents a an utterly lawless, riotous place or assemblage.
The perfect descriptor for the Main Stream Media and their numerous liars propagating their disinformation and lack of truth to the world to aid and abet the democrats in their nefarious wish to conquer The Republic and claim it as their personal property.
Today is Pandemonium Day.
It is held on July 14 and celebrates that deceit and bedlam and chaos which are secondary to the influence of the great liars of the century: The Main Stream Media.
So when your stupid ass is sitting before the televison taking it all in as "the gospel" just remember:
A fools fool is the biggest fool of all.
Fact checking is not always presenting the facts. Know that your source is trustworthy.

- Disgruntled Workers Day 2024
-
I too have been a disgruntled worker on occasion.
When you work for somebody else, they get to control those aspects of employment you may or may not have been accustomed to controlling.
Family businesses and mill supply companies in particular enjoy making the politics as tedious as possible.
The one exception to this in my experience was the handbell place.
It was a family business but they did not make the politics tedious at all. You either did what they needed or departed.
So today is Gruntled Workers Day. This year it is observed July 13. I don't have any information about the frequency of the happening.
My advice to the disgruntled worker is "grin and confront it". Then perhaps pass gas in their general direction.
There's typically not much you can do to amelorate any difficulties in the work place aside from departure.
Happy Gruntled Workers Day.

- Network Crash
-
My network has been down due to a failure caused by a neutral fault on the power lines.
This situation has been in effect from 07/08-11/2024. The repair process has been somewhat convoluted involving electricians and the local power company.
Dominion SC fixed the fault and then Spectrum determined the secondary damage and repaired that.
Now all of my electronics are working much better and the network is moving along nicely.
I regret these problems over which I had no control. We like to think we are in control of all aspects of our existence, but I am afraid this simply is not the case.
Thank you.

- Political Flag Day 2024
-
I have allegiance to my own flag, the Stars and Stripes of the United States of America. However, this lends itself to an innate understanding of the importance of the flags of other nations to their indigenous population.
Hello people of Mongolia. Today is their holiday called Political Flag Day. It is an annual July 10 observance aka State Flag Day and is the main state holiday in Mongolia. It is observed with governmental events like military parades and flag raising ceremonies held in the capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar.
The day symbolizes the Mongolian People’s Army and is part and parcel of the annual military parade of the Mongolian Armed Forces. It is also a celebration of the anniversaries of the Mongol Empire and the Mongolian Statehood.
The celebration is presided over by the president of Mongolia, who is commander-in-chief of the Mongolian Armed Forces.
Happy Political Flag Day !

- Fashion Day 2024

It's Fashion Day which happens on July 9th annually since 2016. It's designed to bring out that inner fashionista in you. So release that aestehetic aspect of your personality and dress to impress, accessorize, and apply that makeup with dexterity and attention to detail.
Like all too much in today's society the perverts seek to usurp this day for their own ends.
While I'll be the first to admit that my fashion conscious days are long over this notion of the day being for homos and transsexuals is sadly mistaken.
There is still time for many of you to put your best foot forward and present an image worthy without those seedy unkempt tacky elements of that faggot personality you should stop trying to assume.
So just try not to get too sow swine like drag queenish if you don't mind. There is a difference between the male and the female of the species that LGBTQIA+ universe of cretins just can't fathom because they are both stupid and display a distinct lack of raising. People should sprout from parents who aren't siblings. Men are not women. Women are not men. Outside of straight humanity there is only that wish to be what is not there.

- National Denise Day 2024
-
I have a friend named Denise whom I haven't seen in a long time. Regardless, I still hold her memories dear to my heart and look forward to that day we might encounter each other once again. Lo, time drags with age but I remain hopeful.
Today is National Denise Day, a July 8th observance. The name is of French and Greek derivation.
Said to originate from the name Dennis which is further derived from Dionysius, the Greek deity of wine and festivity I read about in Bullfinch's Mythology so very long ago.
Despite the popularity of the name there remains just one Denise for me. Absence and the passage of time just makes the heart grow fonder. It's a somewhat elegiacal notion for me personally. Happy Denise Day wherever you are!

- National Koi Day 2024
-
Yeah, like the Realtors always say:
Today is National Koi Day. It's a July 7th observance that I might not be the only round eye to love the Japanese Koi fish.Location, Location, Koi Pond
The Progressive Box
from the fictional reality show "Get That House."
Yes, ladies and gentlemen long before Theresa Caputo bought Larry Caputo a Koi Pond and then got cheated upon then dumped like yesterday's garbage ...
I have admired Koi Ponds and the fish occupying thereto.
The Nishikigoi Amur carp populate these colorful wet additions to homes and gardens and I wouldn't mind having one myself only I'm not the construction oriented person to do this task.
Regardless, if you like pet aqua culture the Koi pond certainly can be for you.
So get out there and collect your fine collection of Gosanke and create that aquaculture wonderland.
... And even though they ARE quite edible, try not to feast upon them.

- The ChefStore in Columbia
-
I've been known to frequent the Chef'Store because they have items in quantities I might have to go to Sam's or Costco to purchase.
The "membership fee" is that thing I shun and will go out of my way to avoid both Costco and Sam's regarding. So when you think I need to pay you separately for the alleged privilege of buying merchandise from you think again. I don't need either Costco or Sam's
My mom is partial to their linen feel paper napkins and I agree they are a luxurious alternative to the lunch variety available in the grocery stores locally.
Then the individual portion chips by the case are a big favorite with the local children too.
Not to mention my personal favorite, the frozen shrimp and battered cod fish portions which I simply can't resist periodically.
So ... call me a glutton I enjoy those items I bypass the regular channels to obtain.
I hope you get a lot of what you want as well.

- International Kissing Day 2024
-
I can't recall the last time I got all kissy faced and laid my lips on a lady.
Suffice it to say it's been years now. I've been told more than once that I am a "good kisser" whatever that means.
I always envisioned myself a family man but I'm afraid that juxtapositioned with a career wasn't flying. It seemed the relationship was always intruding into the career aims and I'm afraid that earnings simply spoke louder.
So today is International Kissing Day and it is that time to set out and get them lips.
Kissing is something people have done a long time. Unless you have rotten teeth or halitosis it can be pleasant for both individuals seeking a level of intimacy beyond proximity. It doesn't really matter which type of kiss to which you may personally subscribe. That underlying meaning to the individuals involved is more what the day is all about. So if you're so inclined and have a consenting partner go for it !
I'll simply remain where I am and wistfully remember those magic days gone by when love was in the air and I had lofty aspirations for other things than those with which I ended up.
Happy International Kissing Day.
