Why "June"?

The Latin name for June is JuniusOvid offers multiple etymologies for the name in the Fasti, a poem about the Roman calendar. The first is that the month is named after the Roman goddess Juno, the goddess of marriage and the wife of the supreme deity Jupiter; the second is that the name comes from the Latin word iuniores, meaning "younger ones", as opposed to maiores ("elders") for which the preceding month May (Maius) may be named.[4] Another source claims June is named after Lucius Junius Brutus, founder of the roman Republic and ancestor of the Roman gens Junia [5]

I'm gonna go with Juno, Roman goddess, over young people.


FATHER'S DAY IS JUNE 16
Dad, son, bike

I looked through a lot of Father images. This one struck me. First, because I vividly remember chasing along holding bikes for each of our three when they were little. Second, because it's symbolic of how Fathers must be sometimes: you push and push and push, you encourage and encourage and encourage, and then, suddenly, you have to just let go…

June Haver

June Haver was born on June 10, 1926, in Rock Island, Illinois… appeared on the stage for the first time at the age of six in a local theater production… In 1942, at the age of 16, June joined Fox Studios as a fringe actress. Dropped because the studio thought she was too young, they signed her the following year to appear in The Gang's All Here (1943). … In 1945, she appeared in Where Do We Go from Here? (1945) with her future husband, Fred MacMurray, who she wed in 1954. … After they were wed, the couple adopted twin girls. June's last foray into the glare of the camera lights was when she played herself in the television production of The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour(1957). She died of respiratory failure in Brentwood, California on July 6, 2005. —iMDB

Best of Spirits

Need a hand or a handout? Good luck.

St Nicholas

In deep financial turmoil,
Approaching no good end,
What help can Heaven offer?
(Asking for a friend.)
 
Seen clearly now in hindsight
(Once startled to his senses),
Cascades of foolish choices
end in grievous consequences.
 
Of evidence that Heaven helps,
He hasn't seen a smidgen.
Blessings with the balance sheet?
Must be bad religion.
 
Belief that holy charity
could balance mortal flaws
was childish wishful thinking:
Give me money, Santa Claus!
 
What hope now for the ruined?
What mercy, Oh, Divine?
What prayer would make a difference?
Let's ask the Search Online!
 
Devoted Roman Catholic
My friend most surely ain't,
But mad with desperation
He searches for a saint.
 
Turns out there is a saint for that.
The answer turned up quick.
Who intercedes for such a case?
Ironically, St. Nick.

Talk like a Pi day?

3/14 1:59

Pi Day Pie
Three point one four one five nine
Square the center-to-perimeter line
Not that anybody cared
Pie b round but ℼr²
"Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14 in the month/day format) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant digits of π. In 2009, the United States House of Representatives supported the designation of Pi Day." —Wikipedia: Pi Day

What part of "Noon" is so hard to comprehend?

I hate hate Daylight Slaving Time.
A semi-annual psychic crime,
Perpetuated by commie slime.
Cows and cats don’t give a dime.
Why should I?

So, a couple of days late with my regular rant about Daylight Saving Time.

I blame Time Change Maladjustment Syndrome (TCMS).

At least this gave me time to swipe some DST related humor from a couple of friends.

Misanthropic Humanitarian on Ace of Spades Overnight Thread linked to this:

I commented:

What? WHAT??

Make DST PERMANENT???

Tell me I read that wrong. Please. ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE INSANNNNNE?

Noon is Noon and DST is Definitely Stupid Trick.

Anyway, at present, it's up to the states, which is bad enough. DST is losing states - hoping ours will join the trend. WTELFH do we want the FEDGOV to be all up in our timekeeping?!?!!?? Which Constitutional clause was that?

SERIOUSLY! GET GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR CLOCKS!

RANT 💀 RAGE 💀 FUME 💀 RAVE

The only good thing about it is, if I go to bed at nine now, everybody thinks I'm going to bed at ten. So I don't feel so old. Good night.

*GONE*
