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.

There you have it.

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!

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!!

JUL 6, 26.. OUR WEBSITE.. BABAKAPS.NET.. HAS DISAPPEARED..

Hello to all of our readers of For What It's Worth (a/k/a dotnet and babakaps.net)..

Just like that, with absolutely no warning of any kind, when we ourselves went to our own website yesterday, Sunday, July 5th, 2026, we were greeted with the below image..

Andrej our webmaster advised that you DO NOT click onto any part of the below image that you get on your own smart phone.

Neither myself, nor our webmaster Andrej, have any idea whatsoever of "what is happening here"!

To make matters worse, Andrej who is located in the greater Detroit, Michigan, Metro Area, is not able to "get online" because of a major power outage affecting 300,000 or so people and businesses. 

Andrej must "get online" because he cannot investigate the situation on his Smart Phone.

We..Are.. Stuck!

When we know something, we will let you know here on Google Blogspot.

JUL 4, 26.. THE 250th U.S. 4th OF JULY..

Today, Saturday the 4th of July, 2026, marks the 250th birthday and a historic, quarter-millennium, of American independence!!

Thank you NATIONAL TODAY for sharing your website with all who choose to use it.

The Fourth of July unites Americans every July the 4th to commemorate our nation's birth and Independence Day.

It is a time for backyard barbecues, community parades, and spectacular fireworks displays. Gather your loved ones, fly the flag, and immerse yourself in the spirit of freedom and unity.

Thomas Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, that played a pivotal role in shaping the ideals of American freedom. His eloquent words articulated the colonists' grievances and their desire for self-governance, laying the philosophical groundwork for the United States. He later served as the third U.S. President. His vision for an independent nation is central to the Fourth of July's significance.

There is a lot more information on the NATIONAL TODAY website. If you wish to read more, you may do so by clicking onto the below link to their website.

Wow! We as a nation are now Two Hundred and Fifty (250) years of age.

Patti and I wish each and every one reading along with us here a very happy, safe and pleasant 4th of July 2026.
