Celebrates the Lawrence Henry Woodman and wife began selling fried clams, an unheard of thing till them.
-National - Eat Your Beans Day: More
-National Chocolate Wafer Day: More
Tomorrow we have three food holidays. Today none. Seems like an opportunity for some enterprising PR person to get points by moving one of them back a day:
- 'National Fried Clam Day'. Celebrates the day in 1916, that Lawrence Henry Woodman and wife began selling fried clams, an unheard of thing till then.
[The Hankster says] My favorite way to eat then.
- 'National - Eat Your Beans Day'.
[The Hankster says] Complex carbs., protein, fiber and other good stuff. OK, they are cheap also. I think some Boston Baked Beans and clams would be nice.
- 'National Chocolate Wafer Day'.
[The Hankster says] Only after you have downed your clams and scooped up all the beans first. Licking your fingers first, is optional, since the waffle like texture is easy to hold. Some of the better dinner sets may include a wafer utensil, I'm not sure. I only know that my Swiss Army Knife does not.
All you mad dogs, Englishmen and some Texans that will remain anonymous, we have a few days for you
-'Dog Days of Summer'. From the Fact Monster web site: 'Dog Days is the name for the most sultry period of summer, from about July 3 to Aug. 11. Named in early times by observers in countries bordering the Mediterranean, the period was reckoned as extending from 20 days before to 20 days after the conjunction of Sirius (the dog star) and the sun.'
- 'Stay Out of the Sun Day'.
[The Hankster says] Or ware those sunglasses and sunscreen.
It appears that we did not leave the idea of treating yourself well, when we moved from June to July Tomorrow is 'Compliment Your Mirror Day'.
[The Hankster says] I will try to do this once again, after the seven years have elapsed from the last time I tried it.
Tomorrow is 'Disobedience Day'.
[The Hankster says] I would be careful with this one.
Tomorrow is 'Comic Sans Day'. A day that celebrates the Comic Sans MS, a comic book like font that was created by Microsoft.
We have an environmental awareness day tomorrow 'International Plastic Bag Free Day'.

July is:
July origin (from Wikipedia): Named by the Roman Senate in honor of Julius Caesar.
"is the seventh month of the year (between June
and August) in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars and one of seven months
with the length of 31 days. It was named by the Roman Senate in honor of
the Roman general, Julius Caesar, it being the month of his birth. Prior
to that, it was called Quintilis. It is, on average, the warmest month in
most of the Northern hemisphere (where it is the second month of summer)
and the coldest month in much of the Southern hemisphere (where it
is the second month of winter). The second half of the year commences in
July. In the Southern hemisphere, July is the seasonal equivalent of
January in the Northern hemisphere."
