American Eagles Soar in the Daylight above Refugees

Ever wanted to fly like an eagle through the skies on a lovely Solstice day? Well, you can't! But today is the day that you can appreciate the American Eagle for its ability to look majestic and frightening at the same time! If you didn't see one today (we surely did not), then here is a picture to refresh your memories:

Happy Daylight Appreciation Day aka Summer Solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere)! We are at the pinnacle of life, sun, and time for the year, so enjoy the sun while it lasts. Hopefully, you went outside, wallowed in the warmth, and perhaps thought of all the things you should be doing on a lovely summer day. At our house, the next door neighbors decided to have a solstice party to commemorate the day with interesting chants, an awesome band, and some powerful incense. As usual, the annoying old lady called the cops, but all was well. Happy Solstice and Blessed Be.

Finally, today is World Refugee Day. It is honored every year on June 20 as a way to remember those who have been forced from their homes due to threats of persecution, conflict, and violence. The United Nations has selected Angelina Jolie as their commissioner (finally something she can actually do--she's no Grendel's mother!), and her PSAs have been widespread to enable people to get involved and donate to the cause of helping those who need it the most. For more info, visit the World Refugee Day site and Take the Pledge.

Hope your day was filled with laughter, fun, and a touch of the good stuff!

Celebration Sensation, out.
