National Read a Road Map Day! This day is set aside to encourage us to improve our map reading skills. Due to advanced technology, and the making of GPS and map applications, most people do not read maps anymore. This was a requirement for me in the 8th grade. I can read a map very well as long as I know the direction. Go grab a map and educate yourself. You never know when you will not have any service!

National Deep Dish Pizza Day! The deep dish pizza is a popular style pizza originating in Chicago. It is baked in a pan and gives the pizza its high edge and deep surface for large amounts of cheese and pizza sauce. This used to be my favorite style of pizza crust until I discovered thin & crispy. I like a variety. Stop by your favorite pizza spot and indulge on some pan pizza today!
