We have two food holidays tomorrow.
First is 'National Cheese Lover's Day'.
[The Hankster says] I like to think of it in it's many varieties and flavors and not that it is just coagulated milk protein (casein). I can remember my uncle Richard talking of taking Limburger cheese to work for lunch. It is made with a bacteria (Brevibacterium linens), which is also partially responsible for body odor and particularly smelly feet. He enjoyed taking it out of his lunchbox, after it being closed up for several hours, and teasing his fellow workers.
Second is 'National Buttercrunch Day'.
[The Hankster says] We celebrated English Toffee a few days ago. Buttercrunch is more like an American Toffee. And if this is one of those times that you 'feel like a nut' you need to wait until June 29 for Almond Buttercrunch Day.
Spin 'um. Tomorrow will be 'National Disc Jockey Day'.
[The Hankster says] this marks the death of Alan Freed (1965), the disc jockey who created the term 'Rock and Roll' and was known as Moondog.
An awareness day tomorrow. It will be 'Penguin Awareness Day'.
[The Hankster says] I am very proud of the fact that every time I go out for a walk, that I am always conscious of the fact that I might encounter one on her 'express' trip back. Don't laugh. I don't want to become fowl of the law. It is now permissible to laugh.
Tomorrow is 'Camcorder Day'.
[The Hankster says] In a few years, I'm sure this will be 'Cellphone Camera Day'. Nevertheless, keep those bloopers and embarrassing videos coming.
We continue with the second day of Healthy Weight Week'. It will be 'Rid The World of Fad Diets and Gimmicks Day'.
[The Hankster says] The emphasis is still on good eating habits, moderation on the bad habits and foods and exercise /physical activity. All this is no good if it is not a consistent life style. And, yes, I know it is easier written than done.
John Turner once said ' My time is now.'
[The Hankster says] Everyone who has ever lived has had 'their time'. Millions of such times, were never recorded and are lost. Those events that remain in the memory and are passed down or written down are here for us to look at. Let us look at January 20 from the past.
In 1887, The U.S. Senate allows the Navy to lease Pearl Harbor as a naval base.
In 1892, The first known official basketball game is played at the YMCA gymnasium in Springfield, Massachusetts.
In 1909, GM takes an interest in Oakland Motor Car Corp,. It later becomes the Pontiac Division of GM.
In 1929, The movie 'In Old Arizona', the first full-length talking motion picture filmed outdoors, is released.

January is:
January origin (from Wikipedia):
'January is named after Janus, the God of beginnings and transitions;
the name has its beginnings in Roman mythology, coming from the Latin
word for door since January is the door to the year.'
'January is the first month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars
and one of seven months with the length of 31 days.
The first day of the month is known as New Year's Day. It is, on average,
the coldest month of the year within most of the Northern Hemisphere
(where it is the second month of winter) and the warmest month of the year
within most of the Southern Hemisphere (where it is the second month of summer).
In the Southern hemisphere, January is the seasonal equivalent of July in the
Northern hemisphere and vice versa.'

If you couldn't afford 90 cents for a movie ticket, 50 years ago,
or your 45 RPM record player was broke, you might watch one of these shows on TV.
