Today Is Also ‘St Gertrude’s Day'; Celebrate The Patron Saint Of Cats

[longship]

5. Yesterday was St. Urho's day!!!!

He drove the grasshoppers out of Finland a whole 24 hours before St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland. Ergo, Urho trumps Patrick.

There's a whole lot of drinking on March 16th in these parts up back nort, dontcha know.

But ya gotta travel up back nort to experience it. Of course, there will still be snow. Hope ya brought your cross-country skis, or your snowshoes. You betcha.

I promise. No lutefisk. But there very well may be pickled herring. And smoked salmon. And fruit soup.

Here's the Wiki: Saint Urho

BTW, Urho means hero in Finnish. I had a cousin named Urho. We called him Willie. Really!

Whoever your hero, have a safe and happy day.
