fauxkloreThus finishes the June part of the catch-up.
1 JUNE: Go Barefoot Day: Do you like going barefoot? I like to go barefoot in certain places. e.g. the beach. But not on city pavement.
2 JUNE: Rotisserie Chicken Day: When’s the last time you ate anything cooked on a spit or a grill? Hmm, I really can’t remember. Probably at some buffet when I was on vacation in May.
3 JUNE: Egg Day: What’s the best way to prepare eggs? I like an omelette with onions, cheese, and salsa, and maybe black olives.
4 JUNE: Trails Day: Do you have a favorite hiking trail? Normally, I walk on the trails in the park just up the street from where I live. I also walk on the W&OD Trail a lot.
5 JUNE: Hot Air Balloon Day: Have you ever been up in a hot air balloon? If not, would you like to? I was supposed to go up in a hot air balloon in Cappadocia (in Turkey) but the weather didn’t cooperate.
6 JUNE: Eyewear Day: Would you ever wear pince-nez or a monocle? Neither of those look comfortable.
7 JUNE: Headache Awareness Week: What’s the best treatment for a headache? I rarely get headaches. When I do get one, I usually just try to sleep it off.
8 JUNE: World Oceans Day: Do you get seasick? Rarely. I find that acupressure bands work well as a preventative.
9 JUNE: Corn on the Cob Day: Corn on the cob. Yay or nay? I love corn on the cob. Usually, I microwave the corn in its husk for about 4 minutes.
10 JUNE: Ball Point Pen Day: What is your favorite writing instrument and why? I like fountain pens. But they can be hard to travel with since the ink can leak under low pressure on airplanes. Rollerball pens, e.g. the Pilot Precise, are also good to write with, since the liquid ink flows smoothly.
11 JUNE: Making Life Beautiful Day: How you make another person’s life beautiful? I believe that my mere existence in someone’s life should make it more beautiful.
12 JUNE: Mechanics Day: Do you trust your auto mechanic? For the most part, yes.
13 JUNE: Roller Coaster Day: Do you (or did you ever) enjoy riding roller coasters? No, since I’m scared of heights.
14 JUNE: International Bath Day: Do you like baths? I love a nice deep bath with either bath salts or bubbles. I’ve also done some aromatherapy baths at spas, which can be really pleasant.
15 JUNE: Prune Day: Prunes. Yay or nay? I am fairly sure I have never eaten a prune. I associate them with grandparents' generation.
16 JUNE: World Sea Turtle Day: What’s your favorite ocean creature? I am very partial to the leafy sea dragon.
17 JUNE: World Crocodile Day: Have you ever seen a dangerous animal in the wild?> Other than humans, you mean? I’ve seen bears (including polar bears) and lions and mosquitos.
18 JUNE: Wanna Get Away Day: Do you wanna get away? I always want to get away, except when I am away.
19 JUNE: Watch Day: Do you wear a watch? My grandfather was a watchmaker. Of course, I wear a watch.
20 JUNE: Summer Solstice: What’s the best part of summer? Long days with late sunsets.
21 JUNE: Selfie Day: Do you take selfies? Very rarely. I get other people to take photos of me.
22 JUNE: Worldwide VW Beetle Day: Do you like VW Beetles? I think they’re cute, but they aren't particularly good cars from a mechanical perspective.
23 JUNE: Typing Day: How well do you type? I blame autocorrect for all my mistakes.
24 JUNE: International Fairy Day: Do you believe in fairies? I believe in all sorts of magical beings.
25 JUNE: Day of the Seafarer: Have you (or would you) ever go on a sea voyage? I’ve been on a number of small ship cruises. I have no interest in the giant floating hotels that people travel on nowadays.
26 JUNE: Canoe Day: When’s the last time you were in a canoe? We went out on outrigger canoes when I was in Costa Rica a couple of years ago.
27 JUNE: Onion Day: Onions. Yay or nay? Definitely yay.
28 JUNE: International Lightning Safety Day: Have you ever seen something struck by lightning? I don’t think so, or, at least, not while it was happening.
29 JUNE: World Camera Day: Do you own a camera (besides your phone)? I do, though I’m not sure where it is right now.
30 JUNE: Social Media Day: What are the best and worst parts of social media? The best is being able to keep in touch with people who I don’t see often. Also, I have a lot of witty and interesting friends. The worst is people who are incredibly gullible and don’t check with Snopes or the equivalent before reposting idiocy.
