Daily Holidays - October 27

http://www.famousbirthdays.com/october27.html

National American Beer Day National American Beer Day is observed annually by beer drinkers across the nation celebrate on October 27. There are more than 2,100 breweries that manufacture beer in the United States. They range in size from industry giants to brew pubs and microbreweries. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/

Navy Day Navy Day is the original day to celebrate the U.S. Navy, and though this celebration officially was replaced by Armed Forces Day (Third Saturday in May for the U.S.) in 1949, the celebrations of Navy Day continue on, especially within the Navy itself. Additionally, research undertaken in the 1970s showed the ‘true’ birthday of the US Navy to be October 13th, and the date was officially changed – however, the entrenched celebration still holds sway, and October 27th is still generally celebrated instead. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/navy-day/

Black Cat Day Nothing is quite as elegant as a black cat—like a miniature Amazonian jaguar, they doze atop the highest point in the area, waking for several hours daily to prowl around hunting for a tasty morsel. But black cats and kittens are often overlooked when animal shelters are looking for new homes, and can be at the shelter much longer than they should be. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/black-cat-day/

We got him at the city pound! (Not kidding.) He lived outside except in the worst weather when we had to catch him and put him in the garage. He was neutered and stayed near the house or the field above the house. He used to sit with me when I was doing any kind of gardening. I'll probably get another one some day.
