- National Rocky Road Day

- Yell "Fudge" at the Cobras in North America Day ((because fudge makes cobras gag, the mere mention of it makes them skedaddle. Test this proposition with the nearest cobra at your own risk)).
ON THIS DAY: In 455 Vandals entered Rome, and plunder the city for two weeks. In 1615 the first Récollet missionaries arrived at Quebec City, from Rouen, France. In 1835 P. T. Barnum and his circus started their first tour of the United States. In 1896 Guglielmo Marconi applied for a patent for his wireless telegraph. In 1924 US President Calvin Coolidge signed the Indian Citizenship Act into law, granting citizenship to all Native Americans born within the territorial limits of the United States. In 1953 the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, who is crowned Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Her Other Realms and Territories & Head of the Commonwealth, the first major international event to be televised. In 1966 Surveyor 1 landed in Oceanus Procellarum on the Moon, becoming the first US spacecraft to soft-land on another world. In 1967 Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles was released in the United States. In 1979 Pope John Paul II started his first official visit to his native Poland, becoming the first Pope to visit a Communist country. In 1981 the Japanese video arcade game "Donkey Kong" made its US debut. In 2003 Europe launched its first voyage to another planet from the Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan heading for Mars.
Because the land of Pandora opened in the Animal Kingdom at WDW without my participation, I decided it was time to watch Avatar again, even though I couldn’t enjoy the 3-D. In it, towards the end as the hero prepares for the final battle, he communes with Eywa [that planet’s earth mother], pleading for Eywa's help in attacking the "Sky People" saying “…the world we come from. There's no green there. They killed their Mother, and they're gonna do the same here.“
Yeah, that.
