Who knew?

Apparently today is Alaska Day.

I had no idea.

So happy Alaska Day to all my Hailing-From-Alaska Isengard virtua-friends!

Be warned, however, wikipedia has this to say about Alaska Day:

It should not be confused with Seward's Day, which marks the signing of the treaty finalizing the purchase.

Any other Alaskan holidays I should be aware of? It also makes me fear that California has falling victim to some sort of state holiday "gap" (apparently we have only one) and makes me wonder what we can do to remedy the situation.

Beyond César Chávez day on March 31, I offer the following suggestions:

Dot com day (March 15, 1985. Date the first .com domain was registered)?

Silicon valley day (January 11, 1971. Date the term was first coined)?

Emperor Norton Day (Since that date of his birth is unknown, we'll go with his death on January 8th)

And not to neglect Southern California...

Breast Augmentation Day (While the exact day of the first breast augmentation surgery is unknown, in the same year, 1895, volleyball was invented on February 9. Close enough)

Any others?
