The Yuba Post Recommends: July

We think everyone should try July. It's a great month. But don't just listen to us - make up your own mind.

Facts about July:

-July is the seventh month in the Yubagorian Calendar.
-July is tied with June for having the fewest letters of any month except May.
-No month has more days than July.
-July was named for Julius Caesar, who was also known as "The Doctor," or "Dr. J." He had a fantastic career in the American Basketball Association and, although he is still alive, his dying words were: "Eat two, brutes" (which doesn't really make much sense).
-July is the most summery month (except in Australia and a few other places).
-July is a great month in which to have a half-birthday.
-Brandon Hall told July that it was his favorite month (but he may have been lying in order to curry favor with it).
-Thanks to Ronald Reagan, July is National Ice Cream Month! Who knew?
-July marks the beginning of the second half of the year. This makes it an ideal time to say to yourself "My, my, how quickly the years do pass. 2007 is already halfway over. My, my indeed."
-
Bugs Bunny was introduced to the public on July 27th, 1940.
-July is the most common birth month, along with October. Another word for birth is parturition.

That's just ten things we can tell you about July. There are probably other things too, though not necessarily. Still, we give July our highest recommendation. Try it!

Don't be shy - give July a try!
