National chip and dip day.

National Fried Chicken Day. I like it but I don't think my arteries do.

Not holidays, but important events:

The day Lincoln died

The day the titanic sunk

Morse Code Day

 

... - ... -...---.

Velociraptor awareness day? Oh well.

According to GOOGLE, August 24th is also National Waffle Day.

International No Diet Day

 

That's all well and good, but more interesting though is that when my B-Day falls on a Saturday, it's the first Saturday in May, and also the The Kentucky Derby!!!

 

In my lifetime my B-Day has fallen on same day as the Kentucky Derby 8 times, and on these years.

Food Day. I think that's everyday for most of us, no?

Scurvy Awareness Day

National Tequila Day seems fitting.

National Wine and Cheese Day.

 

Really?

National Noodle Day.

According to Google, National Sock Day, National Cookie Day and National Dice Day......quite a strange brew.

Aug. 15, which is a minor Catholic Holy Day, the name of which I can’t recall. Ascension of Mary, maybe? I know we always went to church on my birthday growing up.
