National Chicken Boy Day - I had no idea what they were referring to so here is a little trivia:

Standing 22 feet tall and holding a bucket of chicken, this fiberglass statue of a boy with a chicken head stands along Route 66.  Named after the former 1960s Chicken Boy Restaurant, he is also known as the “Statue of Liberty of Los Angeles”.

The iconic statue remained in place at the restaurant until the owner died in 1984.  At that time, Chicken Boy was given to Los Angeles art director, Amy Inouye, and was placed in storage until a suitable location could be found.  Some twenty years later, Chicken Boy was moved to his new home at Inouye’s design firm.  The result of the restoration of Chicken Boy was a community effort and donated funds.

National No Rhyme (Nor Reason) Day, observed annually on September 1, actually celebrates words in the English language which do not rhyme with any other words.  Also known as refractory rhymes, these are words that poets try to avoid using in verse.

Some unrhymable words in the English language include:

• Orange
• Month
• Silver
• Spirit
• Chimney
• Purple
• Woman

@AnikaBrodie The leaves are changing here also and there is nice crispness in the air.  Temps have been in the 50 degrees at night.  Nice and refreshing.
