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

Holidays Calendar explains a bit of the history of 'Beer' (often matured into #Lager ... which is why it's not 'National Beer Day'---along with the possibilities that a) there's "already one o' those" or b) "EVERY DAY is National Beer Day!" or c) the celebrators might have something against |Ale or |Pilsner) 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 “Lager (short for #LagerBeer, if not referring to the #Laager---the Camp Defended by a |Circle of |Wagons)” is built on ancient words that mean |Storehouse (where brewers would Lay the Beer & let it Lie (or would they Lie it & let it Lay?) for a few months to |Ferment before serving).

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' ...

This Day's Birthday-Cohort

Astrologically, their sign is Sagittarius ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: chef Bobby Flay, Emily Dickinson, Kenneth Branagh, Michael Clarke Duncan, Susan Dey (of The Partridge Family, of L.A. Law), Raven-Symoné, Melissa Roxburgh (MANIFEST, STAR TREK BEYOND), Nia Peeples, Greg Giraldo, Dorothy Lamour, Meg White (of The White Stripes), Pastor Greg Laurie

... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---

you might comment telling why we should recognize a special one I missed ...

Or maybe you'd like a reminder of 'where you've seen one of the ones we DO mention'; Ask in your comment!

My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating Our Lady of Loreto, with the clergy wearing White Vestments for the Optional Memorial (Violet Vestments otherwise)
