August 3 - Watermelon Day

Happy Watermelon Day!!

August 3^rd marks the middle of the summer, so Watermelon Day is an apt occasion for such a date. Fresh watermelons abound in roadside farm stands and grocery produce departments.

Why not slice up an ice-cold watermelon, pass out the juicy slices and hold a watermelon seed spitting contest on August 3^rd - Watermelon Day? Take it outdoors, and have the hose ready for a fun, old-fashioned midsummer water fight to rinse off all the watermelon juice after indulging. (Via yahoo voices.)

This Day in History:

NBA is Born

As if there was any other reason to be thankful for the NBA

On this day in 1949, after a damaging three-year battle to win both players and fans, the rival Basketball Association of America (BAA) and National Basketball League (NBL) merge to form the National Basketball Association (NBA).
