I think I get it! appreciate your criteria. Some years ago a friend of mine announced her wedding for April 14 and I said "How wonderful! I know two great disasters on April 14; maybe this will make it a happy day!" (Unfortunately we were both wrong)

Pete,

Thanks, yes, I knew about "Old One Ball." The Happy! rules are fairly consistant but since I'm the only one that makes OR uses them, I've decided to allow myself some leeway from time to time.

After some consideration, I decided that Happy! only applies to NAZI's date of death, not birth. Other people would have a happy? for that.

I actually have a number of choices each day so I select only one for each file per day to inflict upon the Mud.

4:20 was ACTUALLY the time the stoners of San Rafael [California ]
High School ca1970 would gather at the far end of the ball field to toke up. The Grateful Dead were living in the environs and picked up the code and spread it throughout their minions. Riggy

I have learned from my kids that April 20 (4/20) is celebrated as some kind of pot holiday because "420" is supposedly police code ~ somewhere ~ for suspected drug activity, etc.

You MUST know, and have decided not to point out, that today is also Adolf Hitler's birthday.
