Americans don't need to make up a holiday for August.
Uh, who doesn't need a holiday in August?
You be quiet, Tom. We need EVERY EXCUSE AVAILABLE for extra holidays.
IJS. Our excuse is pretty flimsy, but we're sticking to it.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

Why not?
Wait, is National Ice Cream Day in August?
(post-google, no, it's in July, but Aug 2 is Nat'l Ice Cream Sandwich Day)

I also do not have a CDL, and thus legally cannot drive a semi.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So what are the traditional ways to celebrate the "August Civic Holiday?" Take a city worker to lunch? Dress up as "Miss Civic Pride?" Drink heavily?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Aug 2 is Nat'l Ice Cream Sandwich Day
The 13th is International Lefthanders' Day.
Though I've only ever seen it celebrated in the UK.

So what are the traditional ways to celebrate the "August Civic Holiday?"
Beer, barbeques, fireworks.
Unless it's foggy, then there's just beer.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The 6th is my birthday, or "Jour du Scrappy" as some might call it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy System Administrator Appreciation Day!
Yay!!
