Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
Nameday for Jose, which in Honduras means half the men you know. Every Jose gets a call, a cake, and a party. The panaderias sell out of tres leches by noon. The joke is that if you shout "Jose!" in a crowded room, half the men turn around.
You visit Barbados where you spot green monkeys, Barbados threadsnakes, frigatebirds, and sea turtles. You notice that Barbadian families typically keep dogs, cats, and tropical fish as household pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You find that Turks and Caicos Islands, as a small Caribbean territory, produces no internationally recognized brands of its own. You appreciate instead the islands' reputation for quality salt historically exported globally and their fresh seafood, with most consumer brands imported from the United States and Caribbean neighbors.
