What's Special on today?

Events

1806 – Pike expedition: Lieutenant Zebulon Pike sees a distant mountain peak while near the Colorado foothills of the Rocky Mountains. He and his party attempted to climb the mountain but were turned back after they ran out of food and by waist deep snow. The mountain was later named Pikes Peak in his honor. Now you can drive up, or better yet take a train (‘cause Trains are Cool!) or walk to the top and back to get a few geocaches along the Barr Trail (that’s how CoachO and I did it) including Pike Never Made It!

Today is ” Great American Smokeout Day ”!

Great American Smokeout Day is today. Let's support everyone who smokes to finally kick the habit!

The goal of this special day is quite obvious: to get people to quit smoking, resulting in fewer health problems, and less cancer and emphysema deaths resulting from smoking and secondary smoke.

Quitting smoking is not an easy task. As an ex-smoker, I know how hard it is to quit smoking. Often (usually), it takes repeated efforts. That's okay, as long as you keep trying until you finally succeed. The health benefits and the prospect of a longer life are crystal clear.

The American Cancer Society created this day back in 1977. They have promoted it annually since then. They encourage all smokers to give up the "butt" today. Join millions of other Americans today and take a big step to a happier, healthier, longer life!

Never quit quitting!
