Today we celebrate:
National Pecan Pie Day – Pecan
Pie is a little too sweet for my taste, but it sure does look pretty
so maybe I'll make it just so my family can look at it. I suspect
that would only last until I turned my back for a moment.
Chick-Fil-A's Cow Appreciation Day
– On this day, all over the country, Chick-fil-A restaurants are
honoring the cow by giving a free meal to any customer who shows up
to their restaurants in a cow costume. What you are not allowed to
do, is ask me why a chicken restaurant is celebrating cows.

Collector Car Appreciation Day –
This is the third annual celebration of this day which seems to be
scheduled for the second Friday in July. This day was begun by a
U.S. Senate resolution sponsored by Senators Jon Tester and Richard
Burr. The purpose of the day is to raise awareness of the importance
of automotive restoration and collection, at least to automotive
restorers and collectors and possibly to many more people in this
country whom I do not know.
Simplicity Day – This day
honors Henry David Thoreau who was born on this day in 1817. He was
a simple man who stressed the importance of a frugal lifestyle and
ecological awareness. So today, tune into nature and keep your life
simple.
Different Colored Eyes Day –
This is a genetic trait called heterochromia, that is usually found
in animals such as cats, dogs and horses. It is far more uncommon in
humans so you'll have to look carefully at the eyes of everyone you
meet today in order to have a chance to find someone with this trait.
Although you can consider your goal accomplished if you find an
animal with different colored eyes instead.
To celebrate today, keep your life
simple by communing with nature and dressing up as a cow with
different colored eyes so that you can head to Chick-Fil-A for a free
lunch. There's nothing more simple than free stuff. This afternoon,
find a car show full of collector quality cars and go admire them.
Car collectors love to have people admire their cars. Finally,
finish up your day with a nice, big slice of pecan pie.
