September 2016
September marks the transition into our next season…the start of school, the return to business, the end of summer and pool parties, and the promise of cooler days that will allow us to do more outside. There is a lot of stuff going on this month. It’s also time to change the watering schedule for the yard.
During the entire month of August, Dallas was consistently hotter than Las Vegas. The parade here is moving forward, and I’m now ready for Christmas. The kids of Clark County have already gone back to school, and with that of course, motorists need to be very aware of the school zones. The police are going to be out in force around schools.
Football season is here---which means that sports books across the city will be busy and happy, and thousands of football wives will be seeing shows, as thousands of football husbands are watching and betting on games.
There are some very fascinating national designations for September…I’ll highlight a few that I find the most interesting…
September 1st is National No Rhyme (Nor Reason) Day. The First Friday in September is National Lazy Mom’s Day. International Bacon Day is the Saturday before Labor Day, and September 15th is National Linguine Day, National Double Cheeseburger Day, and Google.com Day. Interestingly, September 18th is National Cheeseburger Day (just a few days after Double Cheeseburger day.) September 20th is National Punch Day and Wife Appreciation Day…is that just bad taste? September 22nd is Hobbit Day, and the 23rd is Celebrate Bi-sexuality Day, and the Autumnal Equinox. In spite of bad press the 26th is National Shamu the Whale Day and the 27th is National Corned Beef Hash Day. And one of my favorites…September 30th is Blasphemy Day.
We have Labor Day, Mexican Independence, and the fifteenth anniversary of September 11th will make all of us stop for just a little while and remember.
Can you believe that it has been fifteen years since the tragedy of September 11th? It is another day that will live in infamy... Our lives and even how we live have been changed because of it. I will be flying my flag on that day and taking time to remember the heroes, the horror, the evil, and the strength that was brought about because of all of those events.
Olympia Weekend, the most prestigious event in the world of bodybuilding, returns to the Orleans Arena September 15 – 18; though many of the events will be at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
