😂Sounds like a good excuse to stay off the treadmill to me.😂 I'm glad your air quality has improved. I worry about my twin breathing in all that smoke. I don't know how those with breathing problems that are closer to those fires can handle it.

August 28th: National Power Rangers Day, National Bow Tie Day, National Cherry Turnovers Day, and Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day.

It’s Morphin’ Time! National Power Rangers Day officially recognizes the original “teenagers with attitude” and celebrates all things Power Rangers! In 1993, five ordinary teenagers exploded on the pop-culture scene with the launch of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Together they broke down barriers and defeated evil by demonstrating teamwork, inclusivity, and diversity to people of all ages. Today, this grand tradition continues as new Ranger teams and new generations of fans discover these essential values over and over again. Hasbro established National Power Rangers Day in August 2018, to help celebrate the Power Rangers 25th anniversary. When the show premiered in 1993, it featured a cast that was diverse beyond compare and since has continued to lead the way proving that all are equal and that anyone can be super. In fact, the recent 2017 feature film included one of the first Rangers/superheroes on the Autism spectrum! Although it began as a children’s show, Power Rangers’ influence is multi-generational with nostalgia at an all-time high. Whether it’s kids discovering the SupeNinjaua Steel for the first time or adults who have been fans for decades, the brand’s positive messages and main characters resonate with people around the world because everyone can see themselves in these inspiring teenage heroe. Haim Saban created Power Rangers and launched the TV show “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” (MMPR) on August 28, 1993. Power Rangers quickly became the #1 kids action brand and a global phenomenon. With its current 25th season, “Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel,” the show is now the second longest-running non-soap opera scripted program on American TV after “The Simpsons,” with over 830+ episodes in its library. Currently, Power Rangers is seen in more than 150 markets around the world, translated into numerous languages, and a favorite on many indispensable children’s programming blocks around the world.

Many people across the nation will be wearing a bow tie on this day in honor of National Bow Tie Day. The Croation mercenaries during the Prussian wars of the 17th century were the originators of the bow tie. This bow tie consisted of a scarf around the neck to hold together the opening of their shirts. Using the name cravat (which derived from the French for “Croat”), the upper classes in France soon adopted this idea. Styles range to suit attire and occasion. Some recognizable names from history and fiction have worn bow ties. Winston Churchill, James Bond, Groucho Marx, Orville Redenbacher, Jerry Lewis, Bill Nye, Indiana Jones, Donald Duck and Les Nessman are just a few. The bow tie continues to carry fashion power, today. National Bow Tie Day has been observed since at least 2007.

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day is a day to remember the pet companions we’ve lost. The death of a pet, whether furry, feathered or an uncommon variety, we feel the loss deeply. They become family and a familiar part of our lives. Mourning their death is different for everyone and Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day provides a way to help heal the ache of loss. Take this time to enjoy memories of your pet. Look through pictures. Consider a visit to an animal shelter if you feel ready. Deborah Barnes founded Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day in honor of her cat, Mr. Jazz.
