National Pizza Month
Adopt a Shelter Dog Month
National Work and Family Month
Another holdover from the old calendar, "October" meant the eighth month, until it became the tenth month but kept the name. Which proves that calendars are crazy.
There's some kind of mass hysteria
at the end of the month
that makes people cause horrible embarrassment
to pets and babies

Carolyn Jones was born in Amarillo, Texas, the daughter of Chloe Jeanette Southern, a housewife, and Julius Alfred Jones, a barber. After her father abandoned the family in 1934, Carolyn and her younger sister, Bette Rhea Jones, moved with their mother into her parents' Amarillo home. Jones suffered from severe asthma that often restricted her childhood activities, and when her condition prevented her from going to the movies, she became an avid reader of Hollywood fan magazines and aspired to become an actress. She enrolled at the Pasadena Playhouse in California at seventeen, with her grandfather, Charles W. Baker, paying her tuition. [More at Wikipedia]

Well, I wasn't ready for September, anyway.
National Yoga Month
Better Breakfast Month [PDF]
National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month
Meteor showers that occur in September include the Aurigids, the Delta Aurigids which occur from mid-September to early October, the Southern Taurids, which occur from September 10 to November 20, and the Andromedids which occur from September 25 – December 25.

If "September (from Latin septem, "seven") was originally the seventh of ten months in the oldest known Roman calendar," does that mean it's now really November?
September is called Herbstmonat, harvest month, in Switzerland.
The Equinox occurs at Sep 23. Folks in Northern hemisphere become increasingly glum, folks in the Southern hemisphere look forward to longer days. Folks on the equator wonder what all the fuss is about.

The Zodiac signs for the month of September are
Breakyerbak (until Sep 21)
…and Syllabrity (Sep 22 onwards)

National Water Quality Month
National Sandwich Month
National What Will Be Your Legacy Month
What Will Your Legacy Be Month is a month for people to reflect on their past and present actions and vow to make positive changes that will affect generations. We have to remember the seeds, whether positive or negative, that we plant in our children's lives. This observance is about making the right choices so our children and their children will make the right choices. Everything we do will grow and reflect our teachings. So teach your children well.
If last month was National Hot Dog Month, and this month is National Sandwich Month, does this prove the old argument that a hot dog is not a sandwich?
For National Water Quality Month, I was going to put up a picture of a polluted stream or brown water coming out of a tap, but all the pictures were all so ugly and horrible I just didn't want to sully this post with them. So here's this:

This month "was originally named Sextilis in Latin because it was the sixth month in the original ten-month Roman calendar…. About 700 BC, it became the eighth month when January and February were added to the year before March by King Numa Pompilius, who also gave it 29 days. Julius Caesar added two days when he created the Julian calendar in 46 BC (708 AUC), giving it its modern length of 31 days. In 8 BC, it was renamed in honor of Augustus. According to a Senatus consultum quoted by Macrobius, he chose this month because it was the time of several of his great triumphs, including the conquest of Egypt.[2] —Wikipedia
Okay, I was looking for pix of kids and dogs swimming, and there are many great ones, but I found this good "water quality month" pic.
The Zodiac signs for the month of August are
Domicile (until Aug 22)

Went searching for a Julia to close out this post. Lots of Julia celebrities (some I even recognized). This one caught my eye, though:
Julia Adasheva
and her Ferrari
Adasheva (that's a sexy name if ever we heard one) is the definition of a gorgeous Russian model. Born in Moscow in 1991, she now travels the world as part of her modeling career which started at the age of 16. The beauty is 23 years old, born on April 25, 1991, wears size 7.5 (38 shoes) and is dress size 6 (36).
Her dream car is a red convertible from Maranello. No, not a California like Paris Hilton has, but a 458 Spider, the epitome of Italia style and performance. Julia is seriously into cars and frequents tuning shows. Her personal Youtube is filled with videos of her testing out various exotics around Moscow.…

Hopes lie dead and buried.
Trains of thought derailed.
Trains of thought derailed.
Everything is ruined.
All good plans have failed.
Nothing turned out right.
Bill collectors pound the door.
My coffee cup is empty.
I guess I'll have some more.
