#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #October26 #BirthdayCohort with #JonHeder @hederjon & #TomCavanagh @cavanaghtom & ... You?) on #Mule Day | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass

... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'

National Day Calendar explains National Mule Day in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)

The word “Mule (or #Mulish #Muleteer)” is built on ancient words (probably of Asia Minor) that refer to the Beast-of-|Burden (a.k.a. the #PackMule ... influencing the slang for a |Narcotics-|Smuggler or a Courier for a |Drug-Trafficker) which is the offspring of a |Male Donkey & a Female Horse (that of a |Male Horse & Female Donkey is called a #Hinny), and which is thus also the slang term for a |Hybrid (like the #MuleJenny or the #Mulatto mixed-race individual). 
The word for the type of shoe is built on ancient words that mean Red.

I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...

Today's Birthday-Cohort

Astrologically, their sign is Scorpio (in the wake of Libra) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Dylan McDermott, Bob Hoskins, Jon Heder (NAPOLEON DYNAMITE), Seth MacFarlane, Keith Urban, Hilary Clinton, Cary Elwes, Pat Sajak, Tom Cavanagh (The Council of Wells-es in The Arrowverse's THE FLASH), Napoleon Hill (writer of Think & Grow Rich) ...

but those are just the ones that I agree are famous;
You can add
 your- or your friends'- or famous people (whom YOU
recognize)

My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating with the clergy wearing Green Vestments for the day
