Flying High Above the Drive Thru Will Blow Your Mind and Get You No Frosties

We are flying high today (Tuesday, July 24) with a variety of wonderful holidays including: Amelia Earhart Day, Blow Your Mind Day, Cousins Day, and Drive-Thru Day. Because it is a beautiful place, let us begin in the skies and work our way down to the ground.
Amelia Earhart, as many know, is an aviation pioneer and set many aviation records. The main mystery surrounding her involves her final flight and her disappearance along with her navigator Fred Noonan. They were attempting to fly around the world but lost their way in the Pacific Ocean searching for Howell Island. During bad weather, radio communication died and they were never heard from again. Search and rescue attempts were unsuccessful and the famous woman was never found. I love to fly, but back then I'm not sure if I would have been as brave as Amelia.

Flying High!

Coming down a bit from the skies to the human brain, we are ready to celebrate Blow Your Mind Day! All of those times and situations where you feel absolutely amazed and confounded can be enjoyed and commemorated today. Your Holiday Hero had band practice this evening and said that there was a moment when all the members of Fort Hobo struck a chord and played a tune that truly blew his mind. Whew! So, what blew your mind today?

According to Old Spice, this ad will "blow your mind!"

As slowly complete our descent, we strike a familial landing. Today is Cousins Day. If one or both of your parents had siblings and those siblings had children, you now have cousins. Send your cousins a text, email, letter, or anything else to let them know that you appreciate them and love them just as you love any of your family members. I'd like to send a shout to my cousins Matt, David, and Vincent as well as the Holiday Hero's cousins (who are also my in-law cousins) Justin, Janine, and Jenny! We love you all!

Finally, we have Drive-Thru Day. Whether it's a notable fast food chain with the yellow neon 'M' above its doorway or one with a big Mexican-style bell on the sign, drive-thrus have become a way of life in America and across the world. Today is the day to go out and enjoy the efficiency of the drive-thru pickup line. HH traveled through the Wendy's line to retrieve some scrumptious Frosties on his way home from practice:

Waiting patiently for Frosty goodness is not easy!

CS, out.
