🧠 Find Your Inner Nerd Day

As I browsed the list of holidays and historical moments tied to August 23, I’ll admit—I felt a bit deflated. The lineup was heavy:

• A Day of Remembrance for the Abolition of the Slave Trade
• Remembrance for the Victims of Stalinism and Nazism
• Slavery Reembrace Day

And then there was poor William Wallace, executed in 1305 in a way so brutal it makes medieval horror look tame: hung (but cut down alive), emasculated, eviscerated, and finally drawn and quartered. Yikes. I think I need a new calendar.

It’s not that we shouldn’t honor these moments—they matter deeply. But here at Around Dusty Roads, I like to keep things light, curious, and a little whimsical. So when I stumbled across a more cheerful observance, I knew I’d found my muse: Find Your Inner Nerd Day!

🚀 My Nerdy Confession

Am I a nerd? Absolutely.

• I’ve been a Star Trek fan since the original series beamed onto my screen.
• I’m hooked on The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.
• I follow Finding Bigfoot like it’s a weekly ritual.

If that makes me a nerd, so be it. My inner nerd gets its fix every week—okay, maybe every day.
