Today's food holiday will be 'Strawberry Cream Pie Day'.
You can celebrate tomorrow 'National Good Neighbor Day'. by sending me (your social media neighbor) a Strawberry Cream Pie.
Tomorrow is 'National Gold Star Mother's Day'. "Recognize and honor those who have lost their son or daughter while serving in the United States Armed Forces."
No secrets on this post. Tomorrow is 'International Right To Know Day'.
We have a couple of awareness days tomorrow. 'World Rabies Day' (UN observance) and ' World Heart Day'.
A good idea for tomorrow is 'Read a Child a Book You Like Day'. Let them know what you enjoyed as a kid.
The song says 'the future is not ours to see', so let's take a look a September 28 in the past:
In 1889, The first General Conference on Weights and Measures (CG PM) defines the length of a meter. It is the distance between two lines on a standard bar of an alloy of platinum with ten percent iridium, measured at the melting point of ice. This was from 1889 until 1960. "Originally intended to be one ten-millionth of the distance from the Earth's equator to the North Pole (at sea level), its definition has been periodically refined to reflect growing knowledge of metrology. Since 1983, it has been defi
ned as "the length of the path traveled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second (1983)." I'm glad they made it so much easier to understand.
In 1924, The first aerial circumnavigation of the world. "The first aerial circumnavigation of the world was conducted in 1924 by a team of aviators of the United States Army Air Service, the precursor of the United States Air Force. The trip took 175 days, covering over 27,553 miles (44,342 km)."
In 1928, Sir Alexander Fleming discovers what later became known as penicillin.
In 1787, The Congress sends the Constitution to state legislatures for their approval. There were only thriteen colonies to vote on it then (2 held out for a while). With fifty states, I wonder how long the ratification process would take today.
In 1850, The US Navy abolishes flogging as punishment.
In 1961, the TV show 'Doctor Kildare' premiers. From radio and the big screen (movies) it finally made it to the small screen.
In 1961, The TV show 'Hazel' premiers. This one came from the comic strip.
In 1980, Carl Sagan's 13 part 'Cosmos: A Personal Voyage' premieres.

September is:
September origin (from Wikipedia): Originally September (Latin septem, "seven") was the seventh of ten months on the oldest known Roman calendar.
September in the Northern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent of March in the Southern Hemisphere.
After the calendar reform that added January and February to the beginning of the year, September became the ninth month, but retained its name. It had 29 days until the Julian reform, which added a day.
