JUL 13, 26.. GEEKS.. ROCKS.. GULLIBLE..

 GEEKS..

Geeks, just the word, hits one of my "Hot Spots".

Why Oh Why did the word Geek/Geeks become synonymous with someone or something as odd, weird, different or strange? Read on and you will learn why! 

Let's Google the word.

A "geek" is a person with an intense, passionate interest in, or expert knowledge of, a specialized subject, such as technology, science fiction, or gaming.

What is wrong with being a "geek"? 

While historically used as a derogatory term for a socially awkward person, it is now widely embraced as a badge of honor, celebrating deep expertise and enthusiasm.

The term ‘geek’ was used back in the past to refer to circus performers in the Victorian age. Before that, a geek was simply a ‘freak’ as used in the English language or a ‘fool’ in German. These oddballs were put on display in traveling geek shows and circuses where they would eat the head off of a live chicken or snake. 

Hello and Welcome NATIONAL TODAY! How nice to have you visit us.

Embrace Your Geekness Day invites enthusiasts to proudly showcase their passions every July 13th.

Whether your heart belongs to sci-fi, fantasy, gaming, photography, sports fan, reader, the stock market, cooking, comics, or you name one of your own passions! This is your moment to shine. Dust off that cosplay, dive into a new graphic novel, or host a themed movie marathon with friends.

While geekness may have been a social taboo in the past, today, it has become a symbol of creativity and passion!

ROCKS..

Welcome back NATIONAL TODAY..

National Rock Day unearths the wonders of geology every July 13th.

Explore the diverse formations of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks that shape our planet. Dive into the science of petrology, discover local rockhounding spots, and learn about Earth’s incredible history.

Technically, a rock is a naturally occurring solid aggregate of one or more minerals or mineraloids. Rocks cover the entire earth — in fact, the earth’s outer solid layer, the lithosphere, is made up of rock and has been put to use by humans throughout history. Rocks may not seem very important to most people, but they are essential for the very survival of humans, and rocks played a part in the human evolution that we are experiencing today.

Patti and I have a very special place in our hearts because of our Spiritual Pocket Stone Ministry!

On NOV 26, 22, we did a Post here on Google Blogspot about our Spiritual Pocket Stones. We hope you will take a look back by clicking onto the below link!

JUL 11, 26.. NAADAM HOLIDAY.. 7 ELEVEN..

NAADAM HOLIDAY..

The.. What.. Captain?

To begin with, all of you know that Patti and I do not check out any NATIONAL TODAY Holiday with which we have no experience!

I, your Captain, along with Patti happen to have had a fair amount of experience with the Nation of Mongolia! I had a residence there and still am in contact with many friends in Mongolia.

One IS there right now! Out Camel Riding in the Gobi Desert!

With this in mind..

The Naadam Holiday is Mongolia’s biggest national holiday and celebration of nomadic culture, taking place annually from July 11 to 13. Often called the "Three Manly Games," the festival features thrilling competitions in Mongolian wrestling, horse racing, and archery.

And now we are going to "Send You Off" to another Post that we just published on our Google Blogspot Mongolian Recovery website. If you will click onto the below link, and we sure hope that you will, you can check it out further.

Now we will also give you the below link that will take you to the NATIONAL TODAY Holiday website link about the Naadam Holiday.

Too too funny! Look what the Naadam Holiday is linked with in the NATIONAL TODAY Holiday listing.

We think (well maybe some of you have been living under a rock) most of you will consider 7 Eleven as an "Old Friend".

National 7-Eleven Day arrives every July 11th.

This holiday marks the founding of the beloved convenience store chain with a splash of frozen fun. Dive into the history of this iconic brand, explore its famous Slurpee, and find out how to snag your free icy treat.

Free Slurpee Day arrives every July 11, inviting everyone to enjoy a complimentary frozen treat. Beat the summer heat with a sweet, icy Slurpee from 7-Eleven. Grab your favorite flavor, share with friends, and make a cool memory.

Below are two links to the 7 Eleven Holiday.

NO news about solving the problem of losing our dotnet website. 

JUL 10, 26.. WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT MOVES.. I MOVE !!

Yesterday evening, Patti and I were just visiting and relaxing. Suddenly I received a message from what I believe to be The Holy Spirit.

"Call Dale!!"

Dale is a very close friend down in Arizona who is very ill with cancer. I knew this but I did not want to bother him with a phone call.

"Call Dale!!"

So.. I.. Called.. Dale.

No If's.. No Ands.. No Buts..

We chatted for 20 or so minutes and both of us were laughing and very up beat after we got rolling .

I sent God (via Dale) the below text message.

When the Holy Spirit Moves me, I try my best to "Immediately move"!

To Feel Good? Do Good!

JUL 9, 26.. HOME EMERGENCY KIT.. GULLIBLE CHECKS IN..

 A very good suggestion from NATIONAL TODAY..

International Emergency Kit Day is celebrated every July 9th.

This Holiday is about the  critical need for disaster preparedness. Take action today to assemble or refresh a comprehensive emergency kit, ensuring you and your loved ones are ready for any unforeseen event. Gather essential supplies, create a family plan, and practice emergency drills.

FEMA recommends a 72-hour kit, encouraging families to ensure they can be self-sufficient for at least three days. In the last two decades, natural disasters and other emergencies have highlighted how crucial it is to have an emergency kit prepared.

We both are sorry to report but we have no answers and we are still at a total loss as to what has happened to our babakaps.net website!!

JUL 8, 26.. A FUN GIFT FROM PATTI..

 Patti does quite a bit more "Internet Surfing" than I do. 

The other day Patti found the below story about a Siamang Gibbon who adopted a baby Robin who somehow got into the primate space at The Albuquerque, NM, BioPark in May, leading a resident Siamang Gibbon named Eve to care for the creature and who tried to "Mother" it.

Eve’s gentle personality and experience with babies of her own made her a great temporary bird mom.

Clicking onto the below link will take you to this wonderful story.

Thank you Patti, and thanks to the City of Albuquerque Bio Park and WJW FOX8 News, who provided all of us with this wonderful story!

Cap and Patti

Sorry but we have no answers and we are still at a total loss as to what has happened to our babakaps.net website!!

JUL 7, 26.. BABAKAPS.NET.. "OUR DOT.NET STREAK"..

BABAKAPS.NET

As we write this Post here on Google Blogspot, we have no answers as to the mystery of why our website, babakaps.net, has been shut down and closed. Our webmaster Andrej, located in the Detroit, Michigan Metro Area, is without power until, at the earliest, late in the evening, tomorrow, Wednesday, July the 8th.

Andrej must have power to operate his computer. He cannot do what he needs to do to solve the above mystery using his Smart Phone.

Andrej is extremely busy and cannot just stop his work to solve this problem. It may "be awhile" until we have any answers.

We will keep you all updated when we know more.

 "OUR DOT.NET STREAK"..

Once upon a time, it was Thursday, September the 22nd, 2022, we wrote and published a Post on our dot.net website. We had absolutely, positively, no idea that this was to become the first day of "Our Streak" of consecutive days on which we wrote and published at least one (1) Post. 

- - - -

We received the below comment yesterday..

Anonymous 6 July 2026 at 15:18

Yep, that's exactly what I get. Hope your situation is resolved soon. In the meantime, the stress of keeping your "streak" alive has been settled through no fault of your own--should you want it to be so.

We replied as follows..

Thanks for your comment "Anonymous". There is no particular stress with "The Streak" on dot.net. Publishing Posts here on Google Blogspot can "count as a Post" from us. No, not on dotnet per se, but a Post we two have written. These Posts can refer back to dotnet. More to follow here on Google Blogspot tomorrow July the 7th. Cap and Patti

Now, on July the 7th, this is our "More to follow here tomorrow July the 7th."

The Streak "just happened". Suddenly we noticed we had 100 consecutive days on which we wrote and published one or more Posts. 

As we write this Post here on Google Blogspot, our dot.net streak had reached 3 Years 9 Months 14 Days or 1,383 Total Days as of July the 6th 2026.

Because "Our dot.net Streak" just grew like Topsy, all Patti and I did was "let it grow".

Here is where we are going. Since it is Our Streak, if we want to, we can enlarge it to include each of our websites!

Today's Post here on Google Blogspot will join Our Streak! 

So Our Streak will now include Posts published on our other two websites!

There you have it!

Where to? Does even The Shadow Know?

Why the balloons??

Why not!!
