Great American Backyard Campout – On this day, thousands of Americans will gather in backyards all over the country to have their very own campout. Experience the outdoors without having to travel too far. This is a great option for people with young children who don't want to get too far away from indoor plumbing or who think their young children will not be able to last a whole night outside. http://www.nwf.org/great-american-backyard-campout.aspx
ARRL ( American Radio Relay League) Field Day – The most popular on-the-air event in the US and Canada. Celebrated on the fourth weekend of June every year by more than 35,000 ham radio enthusiasts and their clubs. Some celebrate with a contest, others by practicing emergency radio drills, still others with picnics and campouts. http://www.arrl.org/field-day
Paul Bunyan Day – This is a day for tall tales. You've all heard of Paul Bunyan. Tell your children about him today. Don't forget about Babe, the Blue Ox. Feel free to add your own embellishments to the story, that's what makes a tall tale so much fun.
National Insurance Awareness Day – This is a day for spreading awareness of how important insurance is. Call your insurance company and see if they will celebrate today by giving you a discount on something. We can't get by without insurance these days whether it's car insurance or health insurance or life insurance or homeowners insurance. It's big business and we need it because it saves us from losing everything we have when someone inevitably sues us for something. Make sure your insurance is up to date today.
International Caps Lock Day - This day was created by Derek Arnold in the year 2000. It is also celebrated on October 22nd and is simply intended to be a fun, goofy day. Others have created their own Caps Lock Days at various points in the year such as August 22nd.
National Tapioca Day - I love tapioca pudding but I’ve heard that you can also put it in a drink. I haven’t tried that yet, but perhaps today would be a good day to find a good recipe. Maybe this one: http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Raspberry-bubble-tea-297450
Tau Day – I didn't know what this was either until I looked it up so I will happily enlighten you. Tau is double Pi. Pi, of course, is 3.14....therefore Tau is 6.28...Hence the reason it is celebrated today.
To celebrate today, KEEP THE CAPS LOCK ON ALL DAY WHILE YOU TYPE INVITATIONS TO YOUR ARRL FIELD DAY PICNIC THAT WILL TAKE PLACE IN YOUR BACKYARD. BEFORE PEOPLE ARRIVE, CHECK TO SEE IF YOUR INSURANCE IS UP TO DATE. THEN, LATER TONIGHT, CAMPOUT WITH YOUR CHILDREN IN YOUR BACKYARD AND HAVE PAUL BUNYAN CONTESTS WHILE YOU EAT TAPIOCA PUDDING AND EXPLAIN TAU TO THEM.
