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

Holidays Calendar explains the international celebration of #Braille 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 “Braille” is from the name of the language's inventor, a name built on ancient words that mean Harvest, Wheat Ball (nickname of a Basket Weaver?), Belt-Maker.

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 Capricorn ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Isaac Newton, singer Deanna Carter ("Strawberry Wine"), singer Patty Loveless ("Timber I'm Falling in Love"), singer Michael Stipe (from R.E.M.), comedian Dave Foley, D'Arcy Carden (Janet in The Good Place), Dot-Marie Jones (Coach Beiste on glee)

... 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!

I haven't gotten my Heart of the Nation calendar (which tells me which celebrations we (Catholics) are celebrating, and which color Vestments the clergy are wearing); so I look at my KCM 2022 Calendar, which tells us that today's the day to read Genesis 5:21-8:5 & Matthew 2 (if we're sticking to the plan to read the whole Bible in a Year)
