OCT 4, 26.. CHANGE A LIGHT DAY.. GULLIBLE TRIED (to publish a Post)..

By Cap Chastain October 4, 2026 Gullible-2026, Light Bulbs - LED No Comments

Here we go, yet again, with NATIONAL TODAY and a Holiday!!

When Patti and I are checking the daily images on NATIONAL TODAY.com, often we will just run across a Holiday that “Piques Our Interest”. 

We recently had the primary lightbulb in the ceiling of our condo living room that needed to be replaced.  Because both or us lacked confidence in our stability to stand upon the necessary step stool to change this bulb, we went a few weeks before having a willing neighbor come in and quickly replace the bulb for us.  As a result, this holiday “piqued” our interest.. just because it mentioned light bulbs!! 

Pique means to arouse, stimulate, or excite. As in when something or someone piques your interest.

Below was one such a Holiday!!

CHANGE A LIGHT DAY..

What on this good earth could this Holiday be all about??

Change A Light Day shines a spotlight on energy conservation every first Sunday of October.

It can save you real money to switch to LED light bulbs.

HOT AIR BALLOONS and BOOKSTORES courtesy of .. Taa Daa.. NATIONAL TODAY Holidays

The Albuquerque Balloon Festiva is indeed a “No Brainer” Holiday for Patti and me!!

There is no way we would not look at  this NATIONAL TODAY  Holiday!

Why?

On Friday, January the 21st, 2022, at 8:43am, our very lives changed when I snapped the below photograph of Hot Air Balloons from the Windsor Inn Motel, in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

Since that time, Patti and I have had a real relationship with Hot Air Balloons in Lake Havasu City! I have been an Official Volunteer for four consecutive years beginning in 2023. I hope, and I plan to again volunteer this upcoming January 21st through the 27th, 2027.

The Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta (interesting it is NOT Festival as is more common!) is the GIANT GRANDFATHER of Balloon Festivals World Wide!!

BOOKSTORES.. 

Too funny! IF we had not included this Holiday, some of you would have wondered why because Patti is such an avid and passionate reader of books.

True. BUT Patti does not get her books at bookstores / bookshops. She gets her books at libraries and eBook on her Amazon Kindle.

But here we go for a very quick spin!

I wondered and so I Googled it..

Is it Book Store or is it Bookstore??

There YOU have it!!

Our one Tid Bit !!

Icelanders read the most ..
