National Pet Day
National Submarine Day

8-track tape day
What the heck are 8-track tapes? How dare you. I'm not that old, am I? Let Wikipedia school you.How 8-tracks revolutionized music.
An interesting opinion piece on 8-tracks from NPR.
One of my brother's first cars had an 8-track player, and I remember him blasting an 8-track of Aldo Nova. Loud.
National Submarine Day
No, not the sandwich, actual sea-faring vessels.
Want to celebrate? Read a Tom Clancy novel! Or start reading one-they're kind of thick. Better yet, watch The Hunt for Red October with Alec Baldwin and Sean Connery. Reading Clancy's books really got me into submarines for a long time. I had books on sub types, and played sub warfare games for years.
Or just sing along to The Beatles' Yellow Submarine!
How your furry friends benefit your health.
Here is my family's crazy little ball of fur. Oakley was adopted from a foster group a couple of years ago. He's still unruly, unpredictable, and full of energy, but he's also lovable, silly and ready to be scratched behind his ears at any time.
It's also National Cheese Fondue Day.
So DUE what you can to show your love. Be as cheesy as you can.
See you tomorrow!
