Ridley's Believe It Or Not—September 20. 2014: Trust
your weekend is off to a good start and that you enjoy the holidays and factoids
and quote from Shannon L. Adler with a smile on your sunscreened face, with an apple in your hand, blessed with a 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.
1. International Coastal Cleanup Day—great day to go to the coast
and be part of an international movement of volunteers to pick up trash that
has washed ashore on the world’s beaches.
2. National Gibberish Day---sadly celebrated
only once a year when in Washington, D.C. it should be celebrated daily.
3. It’s A
Jungle Day—celebrating the birthday and writing career of Upton Sinclair,
who was born on this day in 1878; he was best known for his Pulitzer Prize
winning book The Jungle.
4. Responsible
Dog Ownership Day—promoted by the American Kennel Club to promote
awareness of what it takes to be a responsible owner of man’s best friend.
5. International
Eat An Apple Day—great way to celebrate the coming of fall tomorrow by
munching a delicious apple and proving the old saying that an apple a day keeps
the doctor away.
