National Sardines Day: More
From Wikipedia: 'Sardines, or pilchards, are common names
used to refer to various small, oily fish within the herring family of
Clupeidae. The term sardine was first used in English during the early
15th century and may come from the Mediterranean island of Sardinia,
around which sardines were once abundant'. Also:
'A small serving of sardines once a day can provide 13 percent of
vitamin B2; roughly one-quarter of niacin; and about 150 percent of
the recommended daily value of vitamin B12'. Also:
'sardines are high in the major minerals such as phosphorus, calcium,
potassium, and some trace minerals including iron and selenium.
Sardines are also a natural source of marine omega-3 fatty acids'.
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Sardines Day'.

[The Hankster says] My father loved them with saltine crackers.
can you play Stars and Stripes Forever under your arm pit? Can you hold your
breath until you turn blue? Got some other talent? Tomorrow is for you. It
will be 'Celebrate Your Unique Talent Day'.
[The Hankster says] Tomorrow is like a 'We've All Got Talent day'. Bring out
what you have been hiding for the other 364 days.
Before you exhibit all of your hidden talents, perhaps you should consider
tomorrow's 'Win Friends and Influence People Day'. AKA: Friends Day.
On the birthday of Dale Carnegie in 1888. It celebrates his book
'How to Win Friends and Influence People'.
[The Hankster says] I haven't read the book, but I wonder if there is a chapter
on, when to show one's hidden talents. I guess any, one talent, could win,
influence or loose a friend. Thank goodness for the a fore mentioned
'Celebrate Your Unique Talent Day, which I will define as the Get Out of Shame
Free Card of life.
Perhaps your uniqueness is not in what you can do, but in what nature gave
you. Tomorrow is 'Brownielocks Day'.
[The Hankster says] This day's theme is: Blondes May Have More Fun, But Brunettes
Are More Fun! I shall leave it at that.

Historical events in the past on: November 24
In 1835, The Texas Provincial Government 'formally' authorizes the creation
of a horse-mounted police force called the Texas Rangers (which is now the
Texas Ranger Division of the Texas Department of Public Safety).
From Wikipedia: 'The rangers were founded in 1823 when Stephen F. Austin,
known as the Father of Texas, employed ten men to act as rangers to protect
600 to 700 newly settled families who arrived in Texas following the Mexican
War of Independence. While there is some discussion as to when
Austin actually employed men as 'rangers', Texas Ranger lore dates the
year of their organization to this event. The Texas Rangers were formally
constituted in 1835 and, in November, Robert McAlpin Williamson
was chosen to be the the first Major of the Texas Rangers. Within two years
the Rangers comprised more than 300 men'.
In 1859, 'Origin of Species' is published. From Wikipedia: 'On the Origin of Species, published on 24 November 1859, is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology'.
In 1917, In Milwaukee, nine members of the Milwaukee Police Department are
killed by a bomb, the most deaths in a single event in U.S. police history until
the September 11 attacks in 2001.
From Wikipedia: 'On November 24, 1917, a large black powder bomb, wrapped
as a package, was discovered by Maude L. Richter, a social worker, next to an
evangelical church in the third ward. She dragged the package into the church
basement and notified the church janitor, Sam Mazzone. Mazzone brought the
bomb to the central police station at Oneida and Broadway and turned it over
to police. The station keeper was showing it to the shift commander, Lieutenant
Flood, right before a scheduled inspection, when it exploded. Nine members of
the department were killed in the blast, along with a female civilian. It was
suspected at the time that the bomb had been placed outside the church by
anarchists, particularly the Galleanist faction led by adherents of Luigi
Galleani'.
