Tomorrow is 'National Fire Pup Day'. This day celebrates the past use of Dalmatians as fire carriage dogs in the early days when fire engines were pulled by horses and the dogs ran convoy for them.
Tomorrow is the UN sanctioned, 'International Day of Older Persons'. I like the term older, not old.

It will be 'Model T Day', tomorrow, to commemorate the day the car went on sale.
