A week of Cupid .... Or not
Today is the 2nd day of the 7th week, the 13th day of the 2nd month, the 321st day of 2017, and:
ON THIS DAY: In 1322 the central tower of Ely Cathedral fell on the night of 12th–13th. In 1633 Galileo Galilei arrived in Rome for his trial before the Inquisition. In 1635 the Boston Public Latin School, the first public school in what is now the United States, was founded. In 1867 work began on the covering of the Senne, burying Brussels's primary river and creating the modern central boulevards. In 1880 Thomas Edison observed what came to be known as the Edison effect. In 1954 Frank Selvy became the only NCAA Division I basketball player ever to score 100 points in a single game. In 1960, with the success of a nuclear test codenamed "Gerboise Bleue", France became the fourth country to possess nuclear weapons. In 2000 Charles Schulz's final "Peanuts" comic strip ran in Sunday newspapers, the day after the cartoonist died at age 77. In 2004 the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics announced the discovery of the universe's largest known diamond, white dwarf star BPM 37093 -- astronomers named this star "Lucy" after The Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". In 2011 for the first time in more than 100 years the Umatilla, an American Indian tribe, were able to hunt and harvest a bison just outside Yellowstone National Park, restoring a centuries-old tradition guaranteed by a treaty signed in 1855. In 2012 the European Space Agency (ESA) conducted the first launch of the European Vega rocket from Europe's spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
So the week prior to the 14th is coming to a close -- here is a list of the Valentine and anti-Valentine days:
Rose Day VS Slap Day
Propose Day VS Kick Day
Chocolate Day VS Perfume Day
Teddy Day VS Flirting Day
Promise Day VS Confession Day
Hug Day VS Missing Day
Kiss Day VS Break Up Day
Don’t know when or how this one day suddenly became a whole week, but I’m sure the card companies, chocolatiers, and florists are pretty happy about it. And although most of us think of wearing red [and hearts] for Valentine’s Day, apparently you can color code your wardrobe to send messages:
All seems unnecessarily complicated to me!
