Bahamas Edition
World Pocket Notebook Day leads today's complete edition for Bahamas.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for lists, sketches, phone numbers, recipes, reminders, ideas, and the old power of writing something down.
A day for the ultimate Bahamian breakfast of stew fish served with grits and johnnycake, the dish that separates morning people from everyone else. The grouper or snapper is simmered in a rich tomato and onion broth with a squeeze of lime, and it takes patience and an early alarm to get it right. You eat it on a Sunday before church, and if you are lucky, there is enough left for a second plate when you get home.
You recognize that Vatican City has no native wildlife of significance, though you may see pigeons and sparrows in St. Peter's Square and the surrounding gardens. You note that residents and officials occasionally keep small companion animals like cats and dogs within the city-state. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
