National Peaches ‘N’ Cream Day: More
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Peaches ‘N’ Cream Day'.
[The Hankster says] Seems more like a Mothers Day dessert to me, but I guess it is OK after a good manly serving of meat and potatoes, or BBQ and beans.
Tomorrow is of course 'Father's Day'. Third Sunday of June. At Wikipedia'.
We have several days dealing with the season change tomorrow:
- 'Summer Solstice' From Wikipedia:
'The summer solstice occurs when the tilt of a planet's semi-axis, in either the northern or the southern hemisphere, is most inclined toward the star that it orbits. Earth's maximum axial tilt toward the Sun is 23° 26'. This happens twice each year, at which times the Sun reaches its highest position in the sky as seen from the north or the south pole.
calendar, the summer solstice occurs some time between June 20 and June 22 in the northern hemisphere and between December 20 and December 23 each year in the southern hemisphere.'
[The Hankster says] You knew that, didn't you? If you are marking your 2016 calender, the solstice is on June 20 not 21.
- 'National Daylight Appreciation Day'. By Tubular Daylighting Devices manufacturer Solatube International, Inc.
- 'Go Skateboarding Day'. Since 2004 by skateboarding companies..
- 'International T-Shirt Day'. Since 2008. First day of summer.
- 'Cuckoo Warning Day'. If you hear the call of a cuckoo bird on June 21, there’s a wet summer ahead.
[The Hankster says] Glad this is not today. Just this last noon, I heard the cuckoo 12 times. that has got to be a bad sign..
- 'Finally Summer Day'.
[The Hankster says] Anyone that can make that statement, hasn't been living in Texas for the last few weeks.
Get out them cams and phones. Tomorrow is 'National Selfie Day'.
[The Hankster says] There must be more to it than I thought. All I got was a picture of the selfie stick.
It's our turn. Tomorrow is 'Baby Boomer's Recognition Day'.
[The Hankster says] Although definitions vary, one accepted definition is this one from Wikipedia: 'Baby boomers are people born during the demographic Post–World War II baby boom between the years 1946 and 1964. '
