It’s Columbus Day aka Indigenous People’s Day. But this year, it also represents the pre-Prime Day sales. Of course, Amazon’s competitors are coming up with names like “Early Black Friday” sales to compete. That starts tomorrow, Tuesday, and goes through Wednesday. But here are some sales to scoop up today, including some that won’t be around tomorrow.
Today we honor dads and all the male guardians out there. Hope any fathers out there have a good day!
And on to the deals!
Today in America, we honor all of our fallen heroes. We will never forget their sacrifice.
In addition, today marks the unofficial start of summer, and while the season may not be what we’re used to, I hope everyone has a good summer anyway. (Or winter, if you live in the southern hemisphere.) Either way, stay safe and stay healthy!
And on to the deals!
Hope you don’t fall for any tricks today, but I’m not pranking you when I say there are some good deals to be had right now. Enjoy, and, of course, stay safe and healthy!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus pandemic, celebrations are being relatively tame and small, if they’re happening at all. But have a good day anyway, and stay healthy!
To the deals!
“Every year on World Humanitarian Day, we shine a spotlight on the millions of civilians around the world whose lives have been caught up in conflict. On this day we also take a moment to honour the brave health and aid workers who are targeted or obstructed as they set out to help people in need, and pay tribute to the government employees, members of civil society and representatives of international organizations and agencies who risk their lives to provide humanitarian aid and protection.” — UN Secretary-General, António Guterres
So if you save a few dollars this weekend, please consider donating to a charity of your choice, such as monies to help the victims of the Charlottesville and Barcelona terror attacks. And if you can’t donate money, donate time at a local organization or donate blood at a local blood drive. #lovenothate

Celebrate Mountain Day with Japan’s own Fujisan! Or if you’re not up to seeing Mount Fuji in person, perhaps you’ll settle for its depiction in an anime or manga?
