I'd Celebrate That!!! March 8: International Women's Day
** I'd celebrate it.
MARCH 8
MIDDLE NAME PRIDE DAY (Observed first Friday in March)-- ** Those middle names are often there to honor a family member. My middle name is Louis.
NATIONAL BE NASTY DAY-- Be as rotten as you wanna be. Never the right thing to do.
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY-- ** For women's rights. You've come a long way, baby!! Still a ways to go, though.
NATIONAL TARTAR SAUCE DAY-- (Observed 44 days before Easter) ** I almost can't eat fish without it. Mighty tasty stuff.. Since we'll be eating a lot of fish for awhile.

I'd Celebrate That!!! Feb. 18-19: Iwo Jima Day Today
FEBRUARY 18
CRAB-STUFFED FLOUNDER DAY--** Two of my favorite things together? You kidding me?
NATIONAL DRINK WINE DAY--** Drinkin' wine spo-de-doh. I remember those college days with Ripple and Annie Green Springs. Actually, Liz was given a bottle of Kenny Reid's home-made wine last month and we'll be drinking to his memory. Miss you Kenny.
PRESIDENTS DAY--** I was of the opinion this was to honor Washington and Lincoln, but now learn it is to honor all presidents. Since I just mentioned Millard Fillmore being buried in Buffalo, New York's Forest Lawn Cemetery in my War of 1812 blog, I will honor him.
THUMB APPRECIATION DAY--** Imagine life without 'em. Much more difficult. I came close to losing my right one back in 2008.
FEBRUARY 19
NATIONAL LASH DAY-- Eye lashes that is. What's with the gals with those two-inch-long lashes? Weird if you ask me. But, when they bat their lashes, at least you can get a nice breeze on a hot day.
INTERNATIONAL TUG-OF-WAR DAY--** Few things more fun than this, especially if there is a big ol' mud puddle between the teams, but only if you're on the winning team.
IWO JIMA DAY--** Today marks the beginning of it back 74 years ago. I'll put up my flags.
NATIONAL CHOCOLATE MINT DAY--** Candy!! Good!! Frango Mints and Andy's Nibts and those Girl Scout chocolate mint cookies. Order me a box.

Summer North Carolina 2016-- Part 3: The Problem With Croakers and Mom's TVs
JULY 21ST, THURSDAY: Bob's shredder gave out, so I went out and bought one. Spent the day sorting through mostly medical records and destapling, tearing and sorting them out.
Bob and I went to a buffet place called Murray's in Goldsboro. Good food, other than their fish-of-the-day, croaker. I didn't think I would ever find a fish I didn't like. but this was one!! Besides more bones than I could count, was that ever a fishy taste.
Later I had the '11 Malibu's oil changed and did some shopping at places we don't have around us at home like Big Lots, Books-A-Million and Target.
JULY 22ND, FRIDAY
One thing about Mom's TVs and that is that I have always had a problem turning them on. Anywhere else, I just hit power and I have it. But not Mom's TVs. There are several steps you have to go through and me being technologically challenged, this is not an easy thing to do.
A whole lot more "paper" work. Dollar Tree (for Mom's church donation Thank You notes), gas ($1.97), Ollie's (kind of a junky Big Lots, but you never know what you are going to find), K-Mart (none within 40 miles of us at home) and a visit out to Mom and Dad's graves at Willow Dale Cemetery.

A Munger-Moss Motel Route 66 Trip-- Part 5: Bennett Spring and the VFW
APRIL 24TH, SUNDAY
Another trip to Hardee's for breakfast. I spent a lot of time in the Munger-Moss Motel lobby seeing folks on their way home. This is probably one of the best places in the world to go if you want to see movers and shakers of 66 and hear lots of great Route 66 talk.
Among those there were Kip Welborn, Jeff Meyer "The Roadologist", Roamin' Rick, Jerry McClannahan and Bob Giles.
Liz and I drove to Bennett Spring, about 14 miles from Lebanon and saw lots of trout fishermen and a trout hatchery. The place is known for its rainbow trout. I had never eaten trout so we went to the 1920 Lodge restaurant and I had rainbow trout almandine. I'll sure be back.
Spent several hours at the Lebanon VFW on the way back. Sat out by the picnic table at the Munger-Moss and talked with a couple riding their motorcycle across Route 66 from Williamsburg, Virginia. Then went to the bowling alley across Route 66 from the motel.

YOUR BANK'S IN TROUBLE WHEN: the lobby is waist-deep in Euros.
