- National Hamburger Day 2024
-
Once upon a time this was the ultimate in nutrition for me personally, the McDonalds Hamburger. The time was long ago. The place was Aragona Village in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I was a little boy with unsophisticated tastes. I was able to go and spend a dollar on a hamburger and some fries and did so occasionally.
That was then and this is now.
The entry level hamburger at McDonalds remains pretty much a pitiful affair. So much so that I wonder what I ever saw in that greasy spoon gruel. Couple that with the stupid employees who stand like dullards around the dive without a single original thought — just occupying space and having weight and really ...
There is nothing appealing about the McDonalds experience nor their meager grub.
So today is National Hamburger Day.
If you'r so inclined head to Steak Out or Sonic or What-A-Burger and enjoy a real sandwich. Keep away from McDonalds and their $20 minimum wage and ridiculous prices for junk food. REALLY. What has the world come to?
Unless you like your dry bread soaked in grease AND stupidity.
Happy National Hamburger Day. Boo McDonalds! Pukosis Vulgaris

This day is dedicate to those who died in active military service. We remember them for their service and contributions to our freedom. Traditionally observed each May 30 it is now observed on the last Monday in May to accommodate the slackers of the workforce.
We in the deep South (and who are actual Southerners, mind you) have other such days marking the service of the Confederate forces (in the southern states) any of various days (particularly the fourth Monday in April) on which those who died serving in the Confederate forces are remembered. Known as Confederate Memorial Day there are presently two existing celebrations which are important to we who hail from South of the Mason Dixon line.

- World Red Head Day 2024
-
Yeah, I suppose I've been rather partial to redheads since ...
about forever.
Those with natural red hair.
Not this primary feminist red some of the woke bitches proffer as a bloody misbegotten fashion statement.
I am similarly repelled by the gawd awful green crap some use as well.
I like the red in my redheads to be secondary to the presence of pheomelanin which is a reddish pigmentation and eumelanin which is a darker pigment.
There is a certain luciousness to the red headed woman that is only approachable by the blondes. I can't explain that animal magnetism to which I am subjected; only that this particular attraction is beyond my control.
There are redheads for whom I don't particularly care as well such as Prince Harry who has the retard judgement of a democrat and Kathy Griffin who is the absolute last word in woke idiots on the planet.
Otherwise, you others just sit back and enjoy the adoration.
Happy World Red Head Day to you.

I used to call myself a 'geek'. When it became all to evident that the moniker was being populated by the technically challenged I dropped it like a hot potato.
It seems that "everybody is a computer expert" according to the idiots at Bonitz in Columbia who scoffed at my pay requirements yet could not produce a single viable technical skill set remotely near my level in their entire wretched organization — while I received an offer I took for my full pay requirements 2 weeks later.
So no, I no longer claim to be a geek.
Don't care to be a nerd either.
Suffice it to say there's enough of them out there without me overshadowing their inferior skill sets to the nth degree.
Happy Geek Pride Day anyway.
You can be a geek. I prefer to remain retired.

- National Road Trip Day 2024
-
I've taken a few road trips in my day. You get in the car and go. Sometimes thousands of miles round trip.
My best ole ex-friend Darrell and I.
My boon companion The late Jerry Landry from Cape Cod and I.
Others too. The road trip is a right of passage for some of us. For others it's a way of life.
Today is National Road Trip Day. It happens on the Friday before Memorial Day here in the United States.
All it takes is a maintained vehicle, a will to take in a little Americana, and of course cash for food and gas.
National Road Trip Day became an official holiday in 2019 under the auspices of Pilot Flying J who have a lot of stations here in the deep South.
The concept reminds me of a road trip movie called Fandango I saw back in high school. Fandango was written and directed by Kevin Reynolds and Starred Kevin Costner, Judd Nelson, Sam Robards, and the late Glenne Headly.
It's about five college friends from the U of Texas cavorting around 1971. I was 16 years old at the time. The thought of a road trip was naturally appealing.
The plot entails a road trip across the Mexican border prior to embarking on the uncertainty of the futures they all face. It has it's fun and poignant moments and I've always remembered it due to it's position in my personal evolution.
So happy National Road Trip Day and I hope you have the opportunity to see the nation in such a manner as I have so many times in that distant past I sometimes struggle to recall.

- Lucky Penny Day 2024
-
I have a bunch of wheat and Indian head pennies among many other coins in a 3 gallon glass jug in my bedroom. They are the results of years of collecting coins — and I have given away a great many silver dollars to children in the family during this time.
I also had a number of gold pieces which I removed from the jar and gave to my brother in law because I had decided that I didn't want to collect foreign or gold coins.
Today is Lucky Penny Day. It is observed each May 23. There was a time when I would see a coin on the pavement in my travels and decline to pick it up. Nowadays, I retrieve it and add it to my collection depending on the condition and the date.
These are the dates I save in the jar penny 1982 and prior nickel 1965 and prior dime 1965 and prior quarter 1964 and prior half 1964 and prior dollar 1935 and prior
I believe that finding a penny during your travels is a lucky sign. I also believe that I personally can use all the luck I can get. Though it is the smallest demonination and will likely be squashed further by some dimwit globalist governmental moron thinking we need to go digital money I'm hoping these interlopers into our history and lives will get squashed themselves.
☠ Death to central banks.
☠ Death to digital currency.
☠ Death to Dick the money grubbing liar Durbin from Illinois.
We should throw Illinois out of the country because they have stupid woke public office monetizing citizens like him.
Boo !

- National Solitaire Day 2024
-
My grandma Sallie used to love to play solataire. She would have a couple decks of cards and sit there for hours flipping and arranging and I always marvelled at just how much she enjoyed the game.
Today is National Solitaire Day. It is observed each May 22nd and is meant to take note of the entertainment value of the game — which has been played for a long time now.
I have often wondered how Grandma would take to the computerized version supplied with Windoze so long ago, Sadly, she didn't live to see that iteration. This particular version was written to encourage new users to pick up that mouse and have at the windoze interface.
Mother and I used to laugh and enjoy the sun on the card backs of sol.exe (the first iteration) which would sprout sunglasses and stick out it's tongue when a number of good moves were made by the user.
I am reminded about the sad song Solataire once an item on the popular music charts. That's about my only intersection with the card game. It seems like so much else in the computer world a program has do do something I require to gain my interest.
Better luck next time windoze !

- World Fish Migration Day 2024
-
When I was a child in the first grade my daddy would fish the Snake River near Blackfoot Idaho. He sometimes allowed me to tag along and would catch stupendous fish such as trout and salmon. I never forgot those forays into the cold morning wilderness dressed in my warm coat and just how productive that time was from a food gathering standpoint.
You never know how much you're going to miss someone when they're gone. Be gentle with the feelings of those for whom you care.
Fish migration is one of those wonders that some never see. These traveling aquatic denizens are indigenous to those waterways which connect to the sea. Landlocked species are pretty much left to their own devices where they exist.
Today is World Fish Migration Day. It happens every other year on May 21 since 2014. The day is meant to bring attention to both migratory fish and free flowing rivers. It makes note of the migratory act as inherent to their reproduction, feeding, and completion of their life cycle.
The World Fish Migration Foundation maps fish migration routes and identifies those areas most significant to the various migratory species.

- World Bee Day 2024
-
One of the most infuriating incidents ocurred in 2016 when the Dorchester County South Carolina idiots in charge sprayed an insecticide called Naled over a 15 mile area and killed millions of honeybees.
They failed to notify registered bee keepers as they were supposed to and nobody was held accountable.
So while I appear to be pretty harsh in the face of such goings on I'd just like to say that I've noticed inadequate attention to detail or even care in the face of state and county employees ...
Not to mention CITY operatives either.
It seems that devastating ecological so called "accidents" are forgiven when everyone involved should have been thrown against a wall and shot. The wussies were afraid of Zika virus transmitted by mosquitos and apparently the state government did nothing about the incident. I'm surrounded by incompetence in an environment where "everybody shirks".
Today is World Bee Day. It is an international observance held each 20th of May. The day features beekeeping events in an attempt to educate the general populace regarding the importance of beekeeping and bees. I really hate to get this annoyed with others but this senseless killing of bees is one of my "trigger events" which incites me to anger every time.
Obviously, World Bee Day will not be held in South Carolina which is likely waiting to kill a few million more bees at their earliest opportunity. If you don't have a clue regarding the importance of bees and insects in general then you need to move to Dorchester County in South Carolina to be close to your ignorant brethren.
I'll never forget this incident as I wait for the next appearance of a honey bee in my yard though I haven't seen a single one in years. This appears to be the results of that good ole boy system and likely payola for mismanagmemt at it's best.
Nobody ever cut me any slack for any of my mistakes. Stupid South Carolinians with NO accountability. I hope I can write about something that doesn't totally piss me off real soon now.
Boo !

- National Mechanical Dry Eye Day 2024
-
One of the scourges of aging is 'dry eye'. I find myself having dry eye during sleep. During the day it is never a problem. I attribute this to eyelid closure issues and I try not to get all bent out of shape over it.
AKA conjunctivochalasis. It is a common yet but underdiagnosed disease of the eye that can cause pain, dryness, redness, tearing, and other symptoms during it's course.
Today is National Mechanical Dry Eye Day.
It is held each May 19th under the auspices of a company called 'Bio-Tissue' since 2020 here in the United States. This day is observed increase awareness regarding this age related disorder of the eye.
I am told it is one of the most prevalent age related eye disorders and is commonly found in those over 60. I can't believe this is me, but facts are facts ...
All in all my symptoms are mild and I have a handle on the episodic dryness. I hope your issues with any such problems meet with the same level of success.

- World Whiskey Day 2024
-
My daddy loved the taste of Whiskey. I saw him go through several phases of liquor preference and his favorite drink by far was the highball.
All that came to an end when the incompetent medical establishment in South Carolina tried to erroneously diagnose him with tuberculosis and placed him on totally unnecessary medicine which caused intractable joint pain and made his whisky taste bad to him.
Luckily he didn't last long enough to it to become a real problem but nobody knows what a bunch of buffoons they all were and I was not allowed to confront their stupid asses.
So today is World Whiskey Day. It reminds me of my late father and the piss poor medical care he was given at Richland Hospital.
Boo. Hiss. Die.
Anyway Whiskey in the United State began in the 1600 with Scottish immigrants of which my own maternal family line is derived.
So if you imbibe go for it. I remain a teetotaler by choice.

- International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia 2024
-
Faggots unite. Today is your International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia — a day for all perverts to unite against the straight mentality and pursue that mental illness of yours which causes deviant sexuality.
LGBTQ issues are personal problems of those in our midst who believe they should have acceptance by all of the normal people. There is no room in my existence for idiots who believe they are not the sex they were born or others attracted to people with genitalia like their own.
My live and let live attitude gets tried more and more these days. These idividuals who would flaunt their abnormality and protest publicly that they should be recognized as who and what they are lack the decorum and comportment to assume respect. Well, my deference is earned and your public presence is a facet of that. So keep your little LGBTQ self away from me and we'll be fine. I don't OWE you anything, recognition, tolerance, or otherwise.
My only personal issue with the day itself is that recuring misnomer "phobia" which implies "fear". A person who fears you will not chop your pervert head off with a sword to remove you from their presence. A person who fears you will not attempt a head shot at 300 feet to remove your influence from their world. A person who fears you will not get in your face and let you know it's coming. No I don't fear you so "phobia" is an inappropriate term applied to me personally. As if that were the ONLY inappropriate element of your perverted existence.
Push your stupid misguided luck with some of us who are not woke LGBTQ idiots. Your biological sex is all you can be. All else is cosmetics. See what your attraction to those with your own sex organs gets you in the presence of the "straight" white man. I decline to be your lackey.

- National Apertif Day 2024
-
Yeah ... once apon a time I got all liquored up as a function of daily life. I would drink a number of alcoholic concoctions in the name of altered consciousness pretty much daily. One of those things I would imbibe were apertifs as a predecessor to some grand meal on the schedule.
Fine dining and alcohol were essential parts of that aspect of my life. I was making the dough. I had the ecclectic taste for life and everything it had to offer.
Beluga caviar, sushi bars, haiku sake, Tiara over the Moon sake, any upscale steak house I found myself near. Suppers at Maxims, dinners at La Petit Chateau on Devine Street in the beginning. Lunches at Cantina 76 in the end. Oh my it was quite a ride.
Today is National Aperitif Day.
It is observed each year on the third Thursday in May. That would make it May 16th this year.
The day marks the value of apertifs — those drinks consumed prior meals as part of the good life.
Originally of French extraction, they are now an international indulgence and serve as ingredients in many cocktail recipes all over.
So I stopped drinking alcohol in the early 1990s in an effort to cease and desist all recreational drug use when 'drug testing' became the popular thing among stupid people like HR bitches and the like everywhere. I am surprised just how many stupid people are in the workplace. Particularly in HR departments large and small. It's astounding.
So get on out there and have tha pre meal apertif if it follows your fancy. I'll remain the teetotaler I have been for a long time now. When you make a lifestyle choice for yourself they typically remain with you regardless of how you may have once enjoyed partaking of that which you now shun.
Happy National Aperitif Day.

- Peace Officers Memorial Day 2024
-
I come from a law abiding family who are "pro police".
My mother always referred to the officers of the law as "my friend".
I would never choose to defund or otherwise impede the police in upholding the law.
The democrats in general have been such buffoons over their inability to support those who uphold the law.
However one look at the lawfare of New York directed at Donald Trump and the contempt they hold for the law is obvious.
Today is Peace Officers Memorial Day.
It is observed each May 15 in tribute to the brave local, state, and federal officers of the law who have been killed or been disabled in the line of duty.
It is a function of Police Week and is marked with observances in various states.
It began in 1963 with a bill signed by President John F Kennedy before the democrats murdered him.
Support your peace officers and the law.
It is the American law and order way.
