   Today (September 29) is Michaelmas (St. Michael’s Day)   
   and also the related National Poisoned Blackberries Day,   
   which is related to a tale of the devil spitting on blackberries   
   after his fall into a bramble patch after Archangel Michael   
   expelled him from heaven. And of course my naked thorn   
   hill climb overnight Sept. 5/6, 1991 was over thick bramble vines   
   up a steep hill. Also my Ph.D. supervisor’s name is Michael,   
   and he, like many in Europe, celebrates his name day. But   
   I don’t think my minor deity Valakhilya is Archangel Michael,   
   but it could be. (Perhaps some on the psychic groups can   
   inquire about this for me?) My B.Sc.(Hon.) supervisor’s   
   name is also Michael, and my M.Sc. supervisor’s name   
   is Matthew, so it also starts with M.   
      
   Also it will soon be September 30, which in Canada is the   
   National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known   
   as Orange Shirt Day, which from Wilipedia is "a Canadian day   
   of memorial to recognize the atrocities and generational impact   
   caused by the Canadian Indian residential school system”.   
      
   And Sept. 30 is also Blasphemy Day, which from Wikipedia “educates   
   individuals and groups about blasphemy laws and defends freedom   
   of expression, especially the open criticism of religion which is   
   criminalized in many countries”.
