calendar curiosities

Things I learned from my calendars today:
Today is "National Biscotti Day."  Who knew that biscotto has its own day?  I did not run out and buy biscotti.
September is "National Courtesy Month."  You have one more day to commmit some courtious acts.  I guess you don't need to worry about it the rest of the year,
2.97 million is the highest recorded mileage for a car.  It is a 1966 Volvo P1800-5 owned by retired science teacher Irv Gordon of Long Island, NY.  I'm not sure if this proves that this Volvo is a really good car or that teachers are rediculously underpaid. In case you're curious (I was) if this number is accurate, Irv had to drive 57,115 miles a year or 156 miles a day.  That is a lot of commuting.
