AUGUST 26

On this date in 1920, the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution took effect.  Women had the right to vote.  (Give 'em an inch, ... )

I'm sure there is no connection, but I found that there is an international observance keyed to this date.  The Sunday nearest to August 26 is always and officially around the world "Go Topless Day."  I swear this is true.


I admit that, even though I was aware of the observance, I stayed home all day - topless, of course.  It's all about gender equality, they say.
