"On October 23rd, the Swallows Depart from San Juan Capistrano Day marks the migration of thousands of swallows. The famous cliff swallows of San Juan Capistrano leave town every year in a swirling mass near the Day of San Juan (October 23). They head for their winter vacation spot 6,000 miles south in Goya, Corrientes, Argentina. Each year, they return on or about March 19th – St. Joseph Day. Their migration has been marked for generations. Cliff swallows are cousins of barn swallows and purple martins. Swallows have long, narrow wings, forked tails, and weak, tiny feet. Incredibly graceful in flight, they feed on the wing, catching insects in their wide mouths; they can effortlessly make abrupt changes in direction or speed as they feed. The cliff swallow has a rusty rump, and when seen from below, it appears to have a squared-off tail and a dark patch on the throat."
My notes: I love my birds! We don't have too many swallows nor martins here as it's more wooded.

"National Boston Cream Pie Day serves up a delicious dessert on October 23rd each year. Pie lovers, move along. Cake lovers, pull up a chair. Let’s celebrate the cake with an identity crisis! Boston Cream Pie is a chocolate frosted, custard-filled cake that is loved by millions. In 1856, at Boston’s Parker House Hotel, French chef Monsieur Augustine Francois Anezin created this pudding and cake combination. The decadent cake comprises two layers of sponge cake filled with vanilla-flavored custard or creme patisserie. The cake is then topped with a chocolate glaze, such as a ganache or sometimes powdered sugar and a cherry. In 1996, Massachusetts declared the Boston Cream Pie as their official dessert."
My notes: As much as I like chocolate, I couldn't get into a Boston Cream Pie. What about you?

"National iPod Day on October 23rd recognizes the portable music device. Apple introduced the iPod on October 23, 2001. The iPod changed the way we listened to and purchased music. The first iPod was sold on November 10, 2001, for $399. iPod Day pays recognition to this groundbreaking technology and the many people it impacted. The iPod introduced us to playlists and a way of managing our music collections like never before. It took portability to a whole new level. Soon, the iPod would introduce other media to us, too. It changed the way we listened to books, stories, and news."
My notes: Who uses an iPod? What do you like about it? I don't listen to music often so don't have any device.

"National Horror Movie Day happens on October 23 on the National Day Calendar. If you love a good fright, today is the perfect day to promote the beauty and cathartic thrills of being scared by great horror movies. Halloween is in the air bringing together fans of witches, ghouls, zombies, monsters, spiders, and pumpkins. Stores are filled with everything Halloween fans love. In fact, Halloween is a time when an abundance of horror movies are available for viewing in theatres and on streaming apps." My notes: Who likes horror movies? I used to but as I've gotten older, they are not for me anymore. Bob Steve
