your weekend is proving to be a great one and that you enjoy the holidays and factoids
and quote from Alan Moore with a smile on your sunscreened face, with a slice

awareness of rabies which is a terrible disease and the shots after being

2006 to create awareness of the problem of hunger both here and especially in
the world.
3. Gold
Star Mothers’ Day—honoring the mothers of this nation who have lost
their children while they were serving in times of war.
4. National Drink
Beer Day—fortunately a holiday which is celebrated only one day a year;
otherwise we not get anything done.
5. National
Strawberry Cream Pie Day—celebrating a great dessert.
