    Today (August 16, 2023) is True Love Forever Day.

    It is also National Rum Day. and the national rum of Newfoundland
    is Screech, a black rum distilled in Jamaica (it used to be traded
    for salt fish) and used in Newfoundland in Screech-In ceremonies.

    Since it is black I find it appropriate that it is associated with
    today’s new/dark moon, and perhaps there can be a Screech-in
    into a new age.

    Ha, as usual I am grasping at straws.

    Now it is early August 17, which is
    National Black Cat Appreciation Day
    and the black cat could also represent dark moon.
