Mad Hatter Day!
October 6th
Mad Hatter Day is uncommon nonsense: the nonsense we usually have to pretend is sane can be called madness for one day in the year; the superficially crazy things that really make sense can be called sane on Mad Hatter Day. Basically, it's a day for silliness, like the silliness that abounds as Alice joins the Hatter, March Hare and Dormouse for tea.The date was chosen from The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland, wherein the Mad Hatter is always seen wearing a hat bearing a slip of paper with the notation "In this style 10/6". source (1)

Celebrate Stamp Collecting . . .
October
is
National Stamp Collecting Month
Since 1981 the U.S. Postal Service has designated the month of October as National Stamp Collecting Month (NSCM). Developed to introduce children ages 8-12 to this popular and educational hobby, the NSCM program is also intended to raise awareness about the recreational benefits of stamp collecting among all age groups.
Stamp collecting can be a lifetime hobby. It’s fun and educational for all ages, and it’s easy to start your own collection without a big investment.
On July 16, 2010 the U.S. Postal Service celebrated five iconic American newspaper comic strips with their dedication of the Sunday Funnies postage stamps. The 44-cent first-class commemorative stamps honor Archie, Beetle Bailey, Dennis the Menace, Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes.
Of course, we are very happy to celebrate with the Beetle Bailey Stamp. We certainly hope it finds a home in your stamp collection too.
Be sure to visit the National Stamp Museum and/or the Spellman Museum of Stamps & Postal History - you might just discover why so many folks have a passion for stamp collecting.
For more information on Stamp Collecting visit: USPS Postal Store/Education.
