TODAY'S SPECIAL DAY

Today is National Dolphin Day in the United States of America!



Dolphins communicate with each other, though not by words.

They have a system of pops, crackles and whistles that allows them to "talk" with other dolphins.

Their brain is second only to humans in its size compared to their body.

I say let's run one for President!

But today is also another national day, dedicated to a nut that is native to the U.S.A.

I know what you're thinking but it isn't me.



It's the pecan!

So make a pecan pie or some pralines and celebrate.

Oh, yes, there's one other national day today.

That's National Ex-Spouse Day.

It was created in 1987 by a minister in Kansas City, Missouri.

He said it's time to forgive our ex-spouses and focus on ourselves.

In it's inaugural year he is said to have handed out buttons that said: I'm OK - You're History.

And that's all I've got today.

  1. Dolphin Day is pretty cool, pecan day is ok, but Ex-Spouse day? I'll pass.

  2. I've never heard of National Ex-Spouse Day. I have an ex-spouse and I don't regret my divorce at all.

  4. I can really get behind ex-spouse day. I'm okay - Mine is dead, buried, decomposing for more years than I can recall.

  5. Wonder if it occurs to Bruce that the reason he gets along with his ex is because he hasn't seen her for decades!

  6. I am afraid that Dolphin J. Trump was a very bad pick for president. I would rather see a lobster in The White House. It would do a much better job.

  8. I made a pecan pie once and found it waaaaaay too sweet, which is really something from a sweet tooth like me. Great dolphin picture.

  9. I don't have an ex-spouse nor do I have the ingredients for pecan pie. I'll celebrate the dolphin and its intelligence, much smarter than many human beings. You probably know about whom I'm thinking.

  10. Forgiveness is something we do to free ourselves, I did stop checking the obituaries looking for my ex's name.

  11. I wonder who declared National Dolphin Day, and why? Greenpeace, maybe.
