Dunkelster Tag

Proposed. The Tuesday in January when the Christmas lights are down, the Gluhwein mug is washed and stored, the Adventskranz is pine needles on the table, and the next holiday is months away. The sky is gray at 8 AM and gray at 4 PM. This is the Tuesday that tests the German constitution. The Germans survive it with Filterkaffee, wool socks, and the quiet certainty that February will be worse. The Dunkelster Tag has no celebration. The Dunkelster Tag has endurance.

Animals of Ethiopia Day

You marvel at the Ethiopian wolf, Hamadryas baboon, and Walia ibex that inhabit Ethiopia's unique highlands and rift valleys. You observe that Ethiopians typically keep goats, sheep, and donkeys for both companionship and labor purposes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
