How......and What.....To Celebrate?

  What a dilemma You know how I like those "unusual"
holidays that fill my calender!
  Well June 18th is one of those days. But there's more
than one event listed for the date!
  This, for example, is the 21st International Motorcycle
and Scooter "Ride To Work Day!"
   You're suppose to be putting on your helmet, although
Pennsylvania gives you an option in that regard, and
getting on your "Cycle" or Motor scooter to drive to
work.
    I did that a few times and it wasn't easy!
    That's probably because my cycle is a 1971 Honda
Street/Trail bike. Between its power and my weight
my maximum speed was about 45 miles per hour IF
I was heading downhill!
     I had to take as many "back roads" as I could
find so I could stay out of every body's way!
     It's been out of service for about a year. I took
the battery out and haven't put it back yet.
    But that's OK because I don't "work" anymore!
    At least not in the "getting paid for what you do"
sense. I guess I could "celebrate" by driving it to
my "volunteer work" at Electric City Television.
    Riding was fun and the gas mileage was
great!
    But June 18th is also "Go Fishing Day!"
    I enjoy that too!
    A couple of years back I ever qualified for a
"Lifetime Fishing License" here in Pennsylvania.
    All you have to do is pay a little extra and
get old enough and you don't have to keep
applying and paying for a new license year after
year.
     They have come out with a National "Fishing
Registration" now. You don't have to pay for it.....
at least....not yet. I think it's suppose to be sort
of an official OK for fishing in Salt Water areas.
    I'm sort of torn between both of these great
unique "holidays."
   But that could work out just fine because....
June 18th is also "International Panic Day!"
   In any case, whether you're on your "Chopper,"
bating your hook, or just worried and concerned,
here's hoping all of your NEWS turns out good!



























PANIC DAY!
