National Acorn Squash Day: More
I like mine baked.
National Salami Day: More
Since 2006 by the Salami Appreciation Society.
Two food holidays for tomorrow:
- 'National Acorn Squash Day'.
[The Hankster says] I like mine baked with traditional 'Thanksgiving' type spices.
- 'National Salami Day'. Since 2006 by the Salami Appreciation Society.
[The Hankster says] If I had a nickel for every salami sandwich I ate for school lunch as a kid, I .would have enough money to buy all the baloney (that's kid speak for bologna) that I ate as a kid. And, yes, I do pick out the pepper corns before eating. I love the taste that the pepper corns impart to the meat but hate biting into a pepper corn.
Tomorrow is of course, 'Labor Day in the USA and Canada'. In the USA, it was officially established in 1894, although widely celebrated by many states before then. In Canada Labour Day (Fête du Travail) dates back to the 1880s.
[The Hankster says] I was more thrilled with this day when I worked full time and couldn't wait for a three day weekend. Being retired, I feel cheated that I can't take the day off.
thank your postman tomorrow. It will be 'National Neither Snow Nor Rain Day'. Celebrated on the day of the opening of the New York Post Office (now the James A. Farley Post Office Building) in 1914. On that building is the famous 'Neither snow nor rain not heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds'. This is not the official motto of the US Post Office, but often cited as such. The words were taken from 'Herodutus’ Histories/ and referred to mounted
posal messengers under Xerxes I of Persia.
Your never too old. Tomorrow is 'National Grandma Moses Day'. Birthday in 1860 of American folk artist, Anna Mary Robertson Moses (Grandma Moses) who began painting in her 70's.
[The Hankster says] I also plan to paint when I am in my 70's. I have everything I need except a new drop cloth and ladder.
Tomorrow is the 'Great American Bathtub Races'. There seemed to be many throughout the year and many are on the 4th of July or in this case Labor Day. A well noted one is in Nome Alaska on Labor Day each year since 1978.
[The Hankster says] I believe a rubber ducky co-pilot is optional.

September is:
September origin (from Wikipedia): Originally September (Latin septem, "seven") was the seventh of ten months on the oldest known Roman calendar.
