positive attitude, and secure in the knowledge that if you want to find a gift
for a memorable event, you know that the Alaskanpoet can provide you with a
unique customized poem tailored to the event and the recipient.

everywhere.
3. Live
Strong Day—commemorating the birthday
on this day in 1972 of Lance Armstrong won 7 Tour de France titles, due in
large part to his use of performance enhancing drugs but to his credit raised
millions for cancer research through the sale of his Live Strong bracelets.

Cheeseburger Day—perfect day to visit In-N-Out Burger to enjoy one of their
famous double cheeseburgers.
5. National

Reflections
on the Scotland Referendum on the issue of Independence: "After a Yes
vote there will be two groups of people very disappointed. Those who voted
No, and those who voted Yes for all the various groundless barmpot reasons
that they think are somehow going to be cured by independence." - former
U.K. Energy Minister Brian Wilson
