Memorial day

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. The picture above is from France. I don't know when is the Memorial day for them. It seems that every nation has its memorial day or equivalent of it. Japan has one as well. It always rained on the day every year and my grandpa told me that rain was tears of falling soldiers'.
Memorial day became a sale day for most of people. Also it is said that the most cook out day in a year.

Sadly the Memorial day became just a day off to many people...

Happy Mother's day

Without your mom, you would not be here. Appreciate your mom especially on your birthday. You did not do anything on your birthday, but your mom did a lot. If you happen to have a crappy mother, who did not do anything good to you, I am sorry.

Happy Friday the 13th

The fear of Friday the 13th has been called friggatriskaidekaphobia. "According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina, an estimated 17 to 21 million people in the United States are affected by a fear of this day making it the most feared day and date in history. Some people are so paralyzed by fear that they avoid their normal routines in doing business, taking flights or even getting out of bed. "It's been estimated that [US]$800 or $900 million is lost in business on this day"

 Geez. Those who are scared of the date, good luck with your life. It is like some guys avoiding green bikes, calling bad luck.
