Great Britain votes to leave the European Union on this day in 2016
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
A Tip of the Hat Goes to…
Calling all ham operators, today is ARRL FIELD DAY, and hopefully you are ready. The Amateur Radio Relay League sponsors this event where thousands of short-wave radio enthusiasts will find a good spot, set up camp, and try to contact as many stations as they can in a 24-hour period. The record is over 10,000. That is what I call contact.
Information and Invention
This day should be every day. NATIONAL HYDRATION DAY refreshes us just in time for summer. DRINK WATER. Get plenty of water and electrolytes to drive you on and keep that dehydration/heat exhaustion/heat stroke away. DRINK WATER.
NATIONAL TYPEWRITER DAY brings us a blast from the past. I am sure there are still some out there who love pecking away at the keys and hitting the return, and that’s ok. Without this invention to boost us into the world of computers, keyboards and word processing software, who knows where we would be.
Today’s Fashion Trends
For those who wish to celebrate NATIONAL PINK DAY, go for it. Pink used to be known as a strong color – way back when – then treated as a foo-foo hue. Not anymore, pink is the color for breast cancer survivors and you have to be tough to be one of those – pink has also made inroads into men’s fashions as well. Are you secure enough in your manliness to wear pink? Rock the pink today.

We are headed to the motor city for NATIONAL DETROIT PIZZA DAY. Originating at Buddy’s Pizza, this tasty dish starts off in steel square pans (inspired by the auto industry). You got your dough – thick and airy, followed by your toppings, then the cheese and finally, drizzle on the pizza sauce. The result is a square cut savory slice of heaven that will please any appetite.
Grab a cup of coffee or sip on some tea while we celebrate NATIONAL PECAN SANDY DAY. There are sweeter cookies out there, but the shortbread taste mixed with chopped pecans make these little treasures a sheer delight.
