It's July 1! Happy Canada Day!
Let's also celebrate the anniversary of the independence of Congo Free State, Somalia, Rwanda, Burundi, and Maderia.
And let us commemorate the Battle of Gettysburg, the Battle of San Juan Hill, the Battle of the Somme, and the First Battle of El Alamein, amongst others.
Oh, and it's the 145th anniversary of the day the first commercially-successful typewriter went on sale, the 138th anniversary of the first international telephone call, the 116th anniversary of the first Tour de France, the 76th anniversary of the day that Tokyo stopped being a city, the 56th anniversary of the ZIP code, the 35th anniversary of the PG-13 rating, and the 28th anniversary of the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact.
And happy 67th birthday, Dan Aykroyd!
With all of that - and more - being commemorated today, anything happening later this week will be something of an anticlimax, right?
(Of course I jest there. July 2 is the midpoint day of the year!)
