Ridley's
Believe It Or Not—July 9, 2014: Totally a complete black hole
for holidays even for someone as creative as the Alaskanpoet, but hope you
enjoy the factoids and quote from Andy
Warhol.
1. Nunavut
Day —celebrating the creation of Canada’s newest territory Nunavut
located in the Arctic Archipelago; today is your day if there to celebrate by
eating a musk ox burger.
2. This
Is Why We Fight Day—commemorating George Washington’s order given on
this day in 1776 to have the Declaration of Independence read aloud to the
troops of the Continental Army at New York.
3. Shrimp
On The Barbie Day—commemorating Queen Victoria’s granting Royal Assent to
the creation of Australia thereby uniting several colonies on the Australian
continent into one nation.
4. National
Sugar Cookie Day—another excuse to enjoy a tasty snack that is probably
not good for you.
On this
day in:
a. 1896 the William Jennings Bryan,
one of the great orators or all time, delivered his Cross of Gold Speech.
b. 1962 Andy Warhol’s Campbell Soup Exhibit
was exhibited at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles.
c. 1981 the video game Donkey Kong
was released by Nintendo.
A
new perspective on art: “I think having land and not ruining it is the
most beautiful art that anybody could ever want.” Andy Warhol Amen to that!
