Ironically, this is FIRE PREVENTION DAY
Since my home burned down some years back.
It is also CURIOUS EVENT DAY
Which meshes in a strange way with
COLUMBUS DAY
since when he landed in the New World,
he believed he had reached the Indies!
Hence his calling the people he met
INDIANS
Another Irony.
Today is also NATIVE AMERICAN DAY
Post-Columbus diseases killed 1 to 5 million
natives in the 50 years following his landing.
Talk about
THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD!
GOOD NEWS
It is also BEER AND PIZZA DAY!
While I don't drink beer
(I get into enough trouble sober)
Guess what I treated myself to today?
WHAT HOLIDAYS
SHARE YOUR BIRTHDAY?
Well, isn't your day special?
