Daily Holidays - September 3

National Welsh Rarebit Day Famous all over Europe, Welsh Rarebit is a distant cousin to cheese on toast, made with a cheese and ale sauce, and Welsh Rarebit Day celebrates this famous dish. Nobody’s quite sure of the origin of the name, but it’s generally believed to be a jest at the expense of the early poor of Wales, who may largely have subsisted on rabbit and ale (though how this relates back to cheese on toast, we’re not sure). https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/welsh-rarebit-day/

Skyscraper Day The construction of tall buildings has become so commonplace in cities around the globe that the general public gives little thought to the visionaries responsible for creating a city’s unique skyline. Skyscraper day provides the opportunity to learn more about the architects who commit a dream to paper and the construction crews that make it reality.

Whoever it was that first considered placing dwellings on top of each other instead of side-by-side would be astounded at how modern buildings literally seem to touch the sky. What they may also find interesting is the status that is often attached to living or working at the highest level. Although this analogy is obvious there is another to be drawn from the consequences of a power failure. These are just a few aspects to ponder on a day that is set aside to reflect on man’s apparent conquest of upper space. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/skyscraper-day/

U.S. Bowling League Day League bowling was established soon after modern type bowling was created and organized in New York City in 1895. Leagues are set up of male-only, female-only or mixed, typically consisting of three to five players.Weekly league bowling is a great social outing as well as great physical activity. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/

6. Same here.

I can't even stand on a balcony! Acrophobia = fear of heights.

7. I have a weird type.

Heights qua heights don't bother me, I've scrambled around and climbed cliffs, trees, etc. What gets me is edges -- balconies, rooftops, etc. Total freeze mode. Even when there is a railing.
