Celebrating An American Icon

The Corvette is a sports car that first came off a GM Flint, Michigan assembly line on June 30, 1953. Some years ago the date was designated National Corvette Day to comemeorate that event and honor a classic automobile.

By the way, the Corvette logo is two flags on crossed poles. One of the flags is checkered to symbolize the race, while the other is the American stars and stripes flag to symbolize the place of its production.

P.S. In other news, “Gone with the Wind” was published on this day in 1936.

Pollinator Week

Pollinator Week 2025

"Pollinator Week is an annual celebration that raises awareness about the importance of pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, to our ecosystems and food supply. In 2025, it will take place from June 16 to June 22, with various activities to promote pollinator health and conservation." - says an AI generated response to a query.

While about five years ago I wrote an essay on this topic, this year I am just going to share some photographs.

It is said that every year on this day, some people across the United States celebrate National Meal Prep Day.

This is the first that I have heard of it. But, I will mark the observance by sharing photographs of some of the meals that I have prepped over the past few weeks.
