Holidays 2021-05-30
Holidays today cover subjects like watering your flowers, an early pioneer in radio technology, buckets with holes, hugging cats, mint julep drinks, and sea lions: Hug Your Cat Day Loomis Day My Bucket's Got A Hole In It Day National Mint Julep Day Water a Flower Day World Sea Lion Day Admittedly a holiday about a bucket with holes seems a bit silly; it's probably better if you don't have buckets like that despite the holiday. Mahlon Loomis was a dentist/inventor who transmitted signals through the air, and despite his misunderstandings about the science it could be argued he was the first person to send/receive radio signals. Today we celebrate sea lions and fur seals (the latter are really more like sea lions than true seals). Photo by Bradley Dunn on Unsplash
