I was looking up the National Day for today, June 5 and discovered today is not a National holiday, but rather a festival day.  One that we might all get a kick out of…sort of like reading this site.

Today is “Festival of Popular Delusions” day.

In my extensive research as to the meaning of this day, I find some group of musicians (I guess they are musicians) have an album out with this same name and they must have a pretty good following, because my research could only find them and the name of this album.  Of course, not wanting my security system to come crashing down upon my computer I chose not to enter into any one of their line items.  (They just looked the type to have virus’ hanging all over them).

Well, stranger things have happened, but what happened during my visit to the World Wide Web caused the phone to ring.  Of course it had to be the fact that I wasn’t clicking on their sites that caused the phone to ring and low and behold the name on the caller i.d. was “Saint Gobain”!

Holy mother of all delusions!  Saint Gobain wants to talk to me!

Well, lucky for me, again I did not answer the call, but chose to listen to the voice of Saint Gobain on my answering machine.  And while waiting for the phone to ring its programmed 6 rings, the dear Saint hung up on the fourth one!  Dang!  Another delusion foiled!

So, I looked the good Saint up on the WWW in front of me…A company headquartered in France that makes wild and crazy plastic stuff for all sorts of purposes, including outer space!

And so, there are no accidents in this world and that call was just more proof!  How would any of us known about Saint Gobain and the good they bring to the world?  Call me delusional, but my day has already begun.
