Good morning world today I thought I would write a little about the month of August, like did you know that this year there are 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays, and 5 Sundays and this only happens every 823 years. The Chinese call it “Silver pockets”.

Did you know about the following dates in August, if not now you do.
