DANNY 48073 AND PEANUT BUTTER..
Danny, friend but more like one of my sons, texted me yesterday morning..
“Would it be appropriate for me to to ask you for an addition to today’s blog? Finding peanut butter in Ulanbaatar story?”
I replied..
First .. “Absolutely Danny !! “
Then .. “Danny I will “discuss” my peanut butter adventures tomorrow the 25th because many people may have already read today’s Post. It was after 3am last night and I couldn’t go further !! Thanks so very much for your support Danny.”
Here we go Loop de Loop Danny.

Peanut Butter in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
When I was travelling out of the country, finding peanut butter was no easy task. This was an issue because peanut butter is basically one fantastic food source especially when you may not like local food in restaurants.
Danny here is the first of several links I am going to give you..
Danny, the above link “tells it all”.
Now another two links ..
There You Have It Danny.

Thanks to NATIONAL TODAY / NATIONAL DAY CALENDAR.. Who are the sources of most, but not 100%, of the information on our various “Days” such as the below “Holiday”.
When I was “surfing” NATIONAL TODAY.. I just had to “Check out the below entry!”

Most experts agree that Opposite Day is observed on January 25. but other experts claim it is celebrated on January 7th. Still others believe that it is to be celebrated every month of the year on the 25th day.
Either way children across the country rejoice in this day as they declare they mean the opposite of whatever they say.
I would love to do the dishes! Broccoli is my favorite food! I didn’t push my brother in the mud! I’m going to do my homework!
Here is a serious question… What is the opposite of Opposite Day?
The strange and wacky Opposite Day is celebrated on January 25. For those who are into the concept of different timelines, Opposite Day is the closest we can get, giving us a tiny glimpse of what the world will be like if the opposite of everything happened!
Opposite Day has been declared for January 25 but its advent and development is legendary, at minimum. Considered a “children’s philosophy course,” Opposite Day has wormed its way into our jokester hearts by creating a perfectly comprehendible self-referential paradox.
By declaring today is opposite day it is not, in fact, opposite day because the opposite of opposite day is a normal day. So is it actually opposite day?
One of the truest pop-cultural moments in opposite day history has been the George Costanza method of “doing the opposite.” George, realizing his life has gone nowhere, decides to do the opposite of whatever he would typically be doing in any situation. The end result is that the typically horizontal, curmudgeon George suddenly becomes an active, sincere, and honest person.
Whether you choose Opposite Day to derail your workplace’s productivity with philosophical logistics, or to create better habits that help you realize a healthier version of yourself, Opposite Day’s history is one of mischief, humor, and profound realizations.
The Pranksters in All of Us Rejoice.
Class clowns who grew up to be office jokesters, and even that really quiet co-worker on the third floor can enjoy opposite day. There is a built in excuse for joking, pranking, and tricking, everyone you know. You are only limited by your imagination.
It’s Kind of Like, April Fools’ Day Has An Awesome Little Sibling.
What’s better than pranking someone and saying you didn’t prank someone. The answer is nothing is better than that. “No, I didn’t turn all our appliances around and flip your furniture upside down.”

Taa Daa. I had never ever even heard of Opposite Day?
And You?
I fully expect Gullible to say .. “Cap? Have you been living under a rock?” But she may not read this NATIONAL TODAY Post.

Read it. Never heard of it. I had trouble finding butter in Ulanbaatar.
Smiling Gullible. Only those who have been out of the country can fully appreciate the many things you are unable to get beginning with the simplest of items such as peanut butter and for you just plain butter. Smiling .. Cap and Patti
Cap, you still amaze me with your memory and inventory of travel posts and photos. Peanut Butter from Mongolia in 2016 and 2019, it does bring back memories when I was following your adventures, even the bottle brush and hanger.
Like Gullible, I never heard of opposite day, but you did give a good description of what it is. Thanks for the memories, Gord
Thanks YOU Gord. YOU have been with us for some many years. We sure appreciate your comments (now that you have mastered posting them Gord). Opposite Day! Go figure huh? Smiling .. Cap and Patti
