got a crab to race?
Today is the 17th day of the 2nd month and the 48th day of 2016, assuming you are using the Gregorian calendar that is. There are alternative calendars, and if we use them to describe today:
- Mayan: Long count = 13.0.3.3.13; tzolkin = 13 Ben; haab = 1 Kayab
- French: 29 Pluviôse an 224 de la Révolution
- Islamic: 8 Jumada I 1437
- Hebrew: 8 Adar I 5776
- Julian: 4 February 2016 or Julian day 2457436
- ISO: Day 3 of week 7 of 2016
- Persian: 28 Bahman 1394
- Ethiopic: 9 Yakatit 2008
- Coptic: 9 Amshir 1732
- Chinese: Cycle 78, year 33 (Bing-Shen), month 1 (Geng-Yin), day 10 (Ji-Si) ((not sure where "year of the Monkey" fits in with this))
- Discordian: Pungenday, Chaos 48, Year of Our Lady of Discord 3182
No matter what calendar you use, if your birthday is today, you are one of those people born on the cusp, but in 2016, today is still in Aquarius, an air sign, and ruled by Uranus.
And going back to the calendar I am familiar with, today is:
- Digital Learning Day
- My Way Day -- otherwise known as "it's my way or the highway" . The saying seems to have originated back in the 1960's and became a popular idiomatic expression in print at least.
- National Cabbage Day -- the veggie not the doll
- National Cafe Au Lait Day
- National Champion Crab Races Day -- that would be professional hermit crabs, for the uninitiated.
- National Indian Pudding Day -- you can find a recipe at http://www.yankeemagazine.com/recipe/indian-pudding-1978
- National PTA Founders' Day
- National Public Science Day
- Random Acts of Kindness Day
- Who Shall I Be Day -- a perfect day for living a 2nd Life, neh?
- World Human Spirit Day
On this day, another Roman Emperor dies suspiciously in 364, Jovian after only reigning eight months. And in 1972, Nixon headed for China, giving birth to the Vulcan saying.
This picture caught my eye because it looked like any other war picture, but they are actually trying to fumigate the streets in Port-au-Prince, Haiti to halt the spread of mosquitoes. In another way, it is a snapshot of war -- a war on diseases such as malaria, dengue and the Zika virus to keep them from spreading.
