Daily Holidays August 29

More Herbs, Less Salt
 Day Eating a healthy, balanced diet is often easier said than done – it takes thought, time and effort to prepare fresh and nutritious food, when less healthy options are often much easier and more convenient! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/more-herbs-less-salt-day/

Individual Rights Day In honor of John Locke, whose philosophical writings argued for the rights of each single human being, Individual Rights Day is celebrated on August 29th, the date of Locke’s birth. According to Locke, “Anything that a man has as a matter of human rights or civil rights is to remain inviolably his,” and although Locke conceded that humans surrendered some natural rights in exchange for the collective protection afforded by societies, he held that basic individual rights include life, liberty, property, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom to petition government. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/individual-rights-day/

I've always used salt Liberally and my doc told me he wished he had my blood pressure. I even salt my pizza.

After burying trauma for a lot of years, I opened up and wrote about it. But that was personal and I didn't want to publish it. I talked to my old HS English teacher and told him the only thing I felt like writing about was cooking with garlic.

I never did it, but it was a delicious thought,

But as one who salts even salty processed foods, far be it from me to cast asparaqus.

Lettuce all put down our differences on this Individual Rights Day. And my salt? From my cold, dead hands!

That seems to be a late start by the standards we have around here. It seems like the kids have been out for 20 minutes and it's time for the back to school sales to start and get them back to class on 8/10.

It seems like that is when we went back when I was a kid. Wow, Aug 10 is way too early!

Most schools are not air-conditioned here and are like sweat boxes until the end of Sept. It was 86 degrees here today! Ugh. I don't miss any of it.

BTW, I saw Halloween stuff for sale last week!

For those of us of a certain vintage, going to school in August is just fundamentally wrong. And they're getting out later, too. So with all this extra education, we should be a nation of geniuses (genii?).

... except, of course, they wouldn't know Locke, or the whole Natural Jurisprudence tradition, if he bit them on the backside.
