Tue Aug 7th was National Lighthouse Day. A few fun facts about lighthouses: The oldest active lighthouse in the US is the Sandy Hook Light in New Jersey. The first lighthouse in the US to use electricity was the Statue of Liberty. Who knew!? Seriously, pretty near impossible for me to truly celebrate this one, given that I live in the middle of a state with no nearby major body of water requiring the use of a lighthouse. But I thought about them a lot on Tuesday. And at lunch I drove by this nearby house that I have always thought looked like a lighthouse and took a picture. That will have to do.
Wed Aug 8th was National Sneak a Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor's Porch Night. Seriously, I can't make this up! Unfortunately, I did not have any zucchini at home, mainly because I don't eat it and thus never buy it. But I DID have some peppers and bananas. So those would have to work. I certainly hope Ashley enjoyed her tasty treat the next morning.
Thu Aug 9th brings us to the International Day of the World's Indigenous People. Yeah, um... So first off, I had to look up what that actually meant. 10 minutes on Wikipedia later, I still had no idea how one might celebrate it or how to "show respect for Indigenous people, their unique cultures and contributions to societies" like Wikipedia told me I should be doing. The first thing that popped into my head was 'Native Americans' and how can I show my support for them? Naturally, being the poker addict that I am, 'casinos' was the next thing that popped into my head. And while I couldn't exactly leave work to go gamble for the day, I could change my screensaver to a picture of a casino I have been to before. (Let's just say they got a lot of support from me that day.)
Fri Aug 10th, National S'mores Day! Do I really have to mention that we looked forward to this one all week? Only one way to celebrate this one, really.
