NATIONAL AMELIA EARHART DAY

Each year on July 24, National Amelia Earhart Day honors the achievements of the aviation pioneer on the date of her birth.

Author and American aviation pioneer, Amelia Mary Earhart was born on July 24, 1897. One of Earhart’s most impressive achievements took place on May 20th, 1932. Earhart took off from Grace Harbor, Newfoundland and flew solo across the Atlantic ocean.

Throughout the flight, she faced many technical difficulties. Her goal was to land in Paris, France. Due to Earhart’s challenges in flight, she landed the red Lockheed Vega 14 hours and 16 minutes later in Derry, Ireland. All in all, the flight was a success. She became the first woman pilot to complete the journey. Following Earhart’s record-setting accomplishment, she earned the United States Distinguished Flying Cross.

Pre-Flight Amelia
In 1927, Charles Lindbergh completed the first solo flight across the Atlantic when he flew from New York to Paris in 33 hours and 30 minutes. In 1931, Ruth Nichols also attempted to fly solo across the Atlantic. Had she succeed, she would have been the first woman to do so. However, Nichols’ crashed while attempting to land for refueling in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia.

NATIONAL TEQUILA DAY

On July 24th, commemorate National Tequila Day with a little lime and salt. Mix up a Margarita, Paloma, or a Mamasita to celebrate the day! People have been making Tequila for centuries, and it was once known as mezcal wine.

In fact, Tequila is mezcal, but mezcal isn’t Tequila. That’s because Tequila is distilled from a specific type of agave plant. Also, the law protects its production. Take a sip, and we’ll travel into Tequila’s history.

Tequila History

It all started around the 16th century. Cortez arrived on the North American continent with his Spanish conquistadors. They didn’t care much for the fermented mezcal wine served to them. However, the Spanish introduced copper stills to the population. Enter the distilling process.

Now, our story takes us to Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico. Located in a valley west of Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico, the town made a name for themselves by distilling Blue Agave. Even though a variety of succulents in Mexico produce mezcal, only one delivers the nectar to distill Tequila. Blue Agave grows in the highland region. Indeed, the unique growing conditions contribute to a larger size and sweeter tasting agave. In contrast, agave grown in the lowland regions taste and smell more herbal.

NATIONAL COUSINS DAY

National Cousins Day on July 24 recognizes the lifelong relationships that grow among cousins. Our first friendships often form with cousins as young as infants and endure a lifetime. The day celebrates every age of cousins – new baby cousins and cousins whose babies are all grown up!

Whether cousins grow up together in close-knit families or only see each other occasionally, they share common memories through grandparents, aunts, and uncles. At family gatherings, cousins entertain each other and get into trouble together, too. They celebrate birthdays and might even blow out the other’s candles to their cousin’s annoyance. When their siblings irritate them, cousins become an ally. Sometimes cousins seem more like siblings, especially if they’re only children.

As cousins grow up, watching their children grow reminds them of their youth. And that’s when the cycle begins anew.

Wham! Lyrics
“Freedom”

Everyday I hear a different story
People saying that you’re no good for me
“Saw your lover with another, and she’s making a fool of you.”

If you loved me baby, you’d deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it
Tell me I’m a baby and I don’t understand

But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
‘Cause, baby, you could drag me to and back
Just as long as we’re together
And you do

I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part-time love just brings me down
I don’t need your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you

Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I can’t escape until you love me
I just go from day to day
Knowing all about the other boys

You take my hand and tell me I’m a fool
To give you all that I do
I bet you: someday, baby
Someone says the same to you

But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
‘Cause, baby, you could drag me to and back
Just as long as we’re together
And you do

Oh oh

I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part-time love just brings me down
I don’t want your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you

Do do do do do
Can’t you see you’re hurting me?
Do do do do do

You’re hurting me, baby
Hurting me, baby

Oh oh

Do do doo doo

You’re hurting me baby
Hurting me baby

But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
‘Cause, baby, you could drag me to and back
Just as long as we’re together
And you do oh

I don’t want your freedom
I don’t need to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part-time love just brings me down
I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part-time love just brings me down

I don’t want your
I don’t want your
I don’t want your

Battlestations
Song by Wham!

You ask too much of me
You try my patience
Your tongue, it’s like a razor
You choose your words like weapons
Here we go, Battlestations
I never have the guts to let you look inside
I don’t think you’d appreciate the things that I hide
Monday was the worst day
And Friday wasn’t my day
But Wednesday was the best day
Because on Wednesday night we made love
All I’m trying to give you is a good time honey
Why d’ya have to keep on playing games with my head
Used to be your baby when you had no money
Now we spend more time in battle
Than we ever do in bed
(Than we ever do in bed)
You don’t know how much I hate that answer phone
Are you standing there?
But, you won’t pick up the ‘phone
Why lie to my face?
(When you can buy a tape machine to give me in your place)
Today I did something I thought I’d never do
I opened up your diary and read about you
Monday was the worst day
And Friday wasn’t my day
But Wednesday was the best day
Because on Wednesday night we made love
All I’m trying to give you is a good time honey
Why d’ya have to keep on playing games with my head
Used to be your baby when you had no money
Now we spend more time in battle
Than we ever do in bed
(Than we ever do in bed)
Monday was the worst day
Wednesday we made love
And Friday, ooh but,
Saturday, is today, is what I’m thinking of
Come in baby, come in close
(Take off your designer clothes)
’cause you know what I’m thinking of
Do you remember me, do you remember us,
Do you remember love?
All I’m trying to give you is a good time honey
Why d’ya have to keep on playing games with my head
Used to be your baby when you had no money
Now we spend more time in battle
Than we ever do in bed
(Than we ever do in bed)
La premiere fois tu m’as fait beaucoup rire
Tu etais si mignon, et tu jouais do piano
Maintenant, mon mellieur ami see’est l’argent
Au revoir, cheri
Au revoir, mon amour
