Happy Friday! Today is a busy day for us, we have a science test and a Mandarin test to do, groceries to buy, oh, and Bit is babysitting this afternoon! So some of the test bits may be pushed to Saturday instead, which is fine, so long as they’re done before Monday. The return to school work is going well, only we’re getting up later than we like so getting started later. So we’re going to have to work on that next week.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!

15 Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday , celebrated on the third Monday
"This is not a black holiday; it is a people's holiday," said Coretta Scott King after President Ronald Reagan signed the King Holiday Bill into law on Nov. 2, 1983. But in the complicated history of Martin Luther King, Jr Day, it has only recently been a holiday for all the people, all the time.

15 National Hat Day — pretty self explanatory, but I give you cats in hats :)
16 Appreciate a Dragon Day — Draco is my son’s nickname, he was also named after a Dragon Prince in literature. So Dragons are entwined with my son, and have been since before his birth, so to me, Appreciate a Dragon day means appreciating my son, his artwork, and what he does. If you want to look at his full gallery on Deviant Art it’s here.
