National Almond Buttercrunch Day: More
A toffee, covered with chocolate made popular during WW II.
Tomorrow is 'National Almond Butter crunch Day'. A crunchy toffee, covered with chocolate. made popular during WW II as gifts to the soldiers.
[The Hankster says] Love it, but I wish it wasn't so noisy. Others, around you will hear the crunch and ask for some.
In a related topic, food that is, tomorrow is 'National Waffle Iron Day'.
[The Hankster says] Great invention. I no longer have to square the sides of pancakes and hit them with the meat tenderizer mallet. No, neither I, nor anyone else seems to know why it is celebrated on the 29th. They have been around in some form since the Middle Ages. The US patent was granted in 1889.
Smile, tomorrow is 'National Camera Day'.
[The Hankster says] Nope, no one seems to know why it is celebrated on the 29th. But, you can still capture some great moments and irritate your friends with all the electronic devices around. Get those selfies taken now. More and more places like museums and even Disney World are starting to ban selfie sticks.
Tomorrow is the day for you stay at home moms and pops. It will be 'Please Take My Children to Work Day'.
[The Hankster says] It is not the punch line to an old vaudeville joke. Kids are wonderful, but sometimes you just need some time to and for yourself.
Tomorrow is a day of child equality. It is 'International Mud Day'. Since 2009, as a way to help all of the children of the Earth feel closer to each other. It works like this. If you could cover all the children of the world in mud, they would all look alike and thus eliminate the first of many prejudices among different peoples.
Another worthy thought is for tomorrow's '(National) Hug Holiday'. Created by the The
Hugs for Health Foundation.
[The Hankster says] A lot of emphasis is place on elderly care, but a sincere hug can heal a lot of personal problems or nip them in the bud, before they take root.
We have a health related awareness day tomorrow. It will be 'World Scleroderma Day'.
From the (UK) Raynaud's & Scleroderma Association web site: 'Raynaud's is a common condition in which blood is prevented from reaching the extremities of the body, mainly the fingers and toes, on exposure to the cold or any slight change in temperature. A small number of people who have Raynaud's also develop scleroderma, a disease which affects the connective tissue'.

He said that they were for an overpass of a new Interstate Highway. It turned out to be part of I-10 from the East to the West Coast.
