Date When Celebrated : Always November 6
Marooned Without a Compass Day is today. Which direction will you take today?
How is your sense of direction? Do you often find yourself going around in circles? Do you feel hopelessly lost? Do you know where you are? If any of these questions describe your current state of being, then you are in tune to this special day.
As a Boy Scout leader, this author sees this special day as no problem at all. We'll just navigate the day (and night) by the position of the sun and the stars. We'll use our orienteering skills. And, we will check the trees for moss..... moss grows on the shaded, north side of a tree trunk.
Viewed in another way, being marooned without a compass for a day could be a good thing. Our busy life styles seldom leaves time to relax. We can just kick back and enjoy being marooned. Tomorrow, we can head east when the sun rises. In the meantime, I think I see a shady tree.....
Happy Marooned Without a Compass Day!!!
Today, we also celebrate Saxophone Day. The Saxophone is a classical woodwind instrument. It is an essential instrument in jazz bands, symphonic bands, marching bands and more. It's only fitting that this great instrument has a day of recognition all to its own.
The Saxophone was invented around 1840. It was created by Adolphe Sax, a Belgian musical instrument maker. The sax is made of brass.
Adophe Sax invented 8 types of saxophones: Sopranino, Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone, Bass, Contrabass, and Subcontrabass. The first Saxophone ever created was the Bass Saxophone. A 9th type of Saxophone, the Soprillo Saxophone, was invented in 2004. It is the smallest Saxophone.

The six Democrats named this week to the House Select Investigative Panel looking into Planned Parenthood’s fetal-tissue practices have received more than $81,000 from PACs affiliated with the organization. The conservative Media Research Center, using data from the Center for Responsive Politics, released figures Thursday saying the $81,000 represents campaign contributions from 1998 to 2016.
Woah. Dang. Nope nope nope not the job for me.
I saw this friday night and I was cracking up. My fiance’ didn’t really see the humor, but I found it hilarious. Within an hour, my sister, with whom I try to have no communication, had posted it again. Kelly had to remind me that my family is weird like that.
