Later I had some of that leftover spaghetti.
The dog, Nova, made another visit yesterday. She was also over here on
Tuesday. She thinks I'm her new best friend. I told the lady when I met her at
the fence, it's dangerous here with cougars and coyotes. The dog is small and
coyotes will gang up on a single dog. She's got to fence in her yard!
Sheeeesh!

October 27th
US Navy Day
Many nations around the world celebrate their navies, with a special day
dedicated to them. Each country selects a date relevant to their navy, often the
birth date of the navy.
In the United States, Navy
Day is commonly celebrated on
October 27th. This date was selected as it was the birth date of President
Theodore Roosevelt, an avid supporter of the U.S. Navy. In the 1970's, research
determined that the birthday of the U.S. Continental Navy was October 13, 1775.
At the time, efforts were made to move Navy Day to this date. However,Navy
Day in the United States, is still
largely recognized as October 27th.
On Navy Day, give some
well deserved attention to your proud U.S. Navy, and to the sailors who serve
our
country.......Salute!
