Day Dreaming

It was brought to my attention that today is National Punctuation Day! What is up with that? A period of time to dash around and exclaim brackets and ellipsis? 

Earth Day is April 22, Catfish Day is June 25, Left-handers day is August 13, Apple Day is October 21, Forefathers Day is December 21.  It never ends. 

Mankind will find anyway to brighten its mundane existence. Before the veil of civilization, people celebrated the changing of the seasons; these evolved into religious holy days. Governments morphed nationalism/patriotism into the celebration of  holidays. Concerned citizens carried the gauntlets of their particular causes into more holidays. Greeting card companies gave additional reasons to send notes of good-will. Producers of sundry products and services followed suit. 

So take time today to give thanks and praise for the poor, misused semi-colon, the ubiquitous coma and the other punctuation marks.  All together now, "Conjunction junction what's your function..." as ever - BB
