Frog Jumping Jubilee Day is a fun-filled event celebrated on May 19 each year. Maybe not in most communities, but it is a big deal in Angels Camp, California as it links back to Mark Twain’s famous short story, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, published in 1865.
I must admit that this post is a leap of faith, but I was running out of time again. Just remember that time spent doing something that you enjoy is not time wasted.

Perhaps far too often, when I am stumped for a post topic I turn to one of the many national day calendars for inspiration. I am frequently amused by two things - the relative obscurity of things that are celebrated, and that I have a photo in my archive that fits the occasion.
It seems that National Odometer Day is observed annually on May 12 to raise awareness about odometers and their importance in vehicle maintenance. It highlights the history of odometers and encourages vehicle owners to check their mileage for maintenance decisions.
Make of that what you will.
