Create a Vacuum Day
Strange day...
What's a vacuum?  Well, before we knew it as an appliance it was, still is, a space devoid of matter. Here's the details on all the kinds of vacuums we know, maybe even some we didn't know about! 
So I'm not sure what to say about today.  My lifelong bestie loved to vacuum! She found it therapeutic, relaxing - perhaps in a way, for her, the act of vacuuming created a space (briefly) devoid of the matter of her life.  Hey, this day is so random I think anything is plausible!  :)

Thank A Mailman Day
How to Become a Mailman (with pictures!)

Sun, rain, sleet, snow the mailmen deliver our mail.  Leave them a 'thank you' of some kind today. Because it's February maybe leave them a Starbucks gift card to get a hot drink, or some cookies, and make sure you include a note of thanks!
