2. National Drive
Thru Day—celebrating the convenience of not having to park your car and
walk to the retail establishment and thereby putting more carbon into the
atmosphere while in line and foregoing a few calories burned by the short walk.

the number one song in 1960 on a three week run in that position I’m Sorry by Brenda Lee. Here is a link

magic of converting cacti into an alcoholic beverage although this poet is
clueless as to why this observance is not celebrated on May 5 of each year.
5. My Bat
Is My Bond Day—celebrating the birthday on this day in 1964 of Barry Bonds
who hit a record 73 home runs in 2001 and holds the record for career home runs

Baseball Hall of Fame.

when a long journey was something fun and very special. John Paul DeJoria,
founder of the Paul Mitchell line of hair care products line and Patron Spirits
Company
