Ridley’s
Believe It Or Not For January 21, 2016, 365 days to go
in President Obama’s pathetic lame duck term. If you have not seen the
movie 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of
Benghazi strongly recommend you should see it—good chance you might not
want to support Hillary Clinton with a memory of the “it’s a video” claim
especially when the evidence coming out is tha on her unsecure server she
placed SAP material. As always, I hope you enjoy Thursday’s holidays and
observances, a music link to Patti Page; factoids of interest, a relevant quote
from Paul Allen, looking forward to enjoying a bowl of ckam chowder, blessed
with a positive attitude and secure in the knowledge that
if you want to find a gift for any memorable event like birthdays, weddings, or
anniversaries, you know that the Alaskanpoet can provide you with a unique
customized poem at a great price tailored to the event and the recipient. You
need only contact me for details.
1.
National Hugging Day—celebrated since 1986 and perhaps one
of the great unique aspect that distinguish human beings—the ability to hug
another person. My only complaint is that this is a holiday that should be observed daily.
2. Own
Your Own Home Day—celebrating an idea first promulgated in 1920,
home ownership as a means of promoting social stability and community spirit.
3. 1951
Number One S ong—celebrating
the number one song in 1951 on a long run of ten weeks in that position Tennessee Waltz by Patti Page. Here is a
link to Patti Page performing Tennessee Waltz:

New England Clam Chowder Day—celebrating
a great way to enjoy those tasty mollusks although this highly evolved omnivore
prefers Manhattan clam chowder.
5. Cougars

Allen, cofounder of Microsoft who attended Washington State University for two
