July 16 - Apollo 11 launched to land on the moon

 We do these things, not because they are easy, but ... to organize and measure the best of our energies.

That's what JFK had said about the goal to land men on the moon.  And on July 16, 1969 the best of their energies successfully launched the Apollo 11, starting its 4 day journey before it would reach that goal of landing.

I wonder if they had talked about what they were going to say during that flight when they first touched down.  That first blast off of humans breaking earth's orbit for a long trek. 

Must have been exhilerating.

Also not as exhilerating, is popping popcorn and when it comes to popcorn - everybody knows Orville.

He would have been 114 today.

July 14 - It's Mac 'n Cheese Day

 Did you know that Mac 'n Cheese is considered a national dish for Canada?  Really?  I wouldn't have guessed that.

Popular yeah, but a national dish?  Nah.

But, July 14th is apparently National Mac 'n Cheese Day.

One thing tho' is I just can't find how it is, or where confirms it (i.e. outside of just Google searches saying it is from other sites).

It's also the day that the French population stormed the Bastille... so I guess instead of "letting them eat cake" they could have had mac 'n cheese and maybe been a little happier?  Maybe?

On a more serious note, it is International Non-Binary People Day.
