Push Button Phone Day #2
Push Button Phone Day
November 18 is Push Button Phone Day. The unofficial holiday commemorates the anniversary of the introduction of the push button phone by Bell Systems in the United States.
First introduced to customers in some areas of Pennsylvania on November 18, 1963, push button phones were the fancy alternatives to rotary dial phones.
Push button phones are phones that use buttons to dial numbers and connect to another telephone user.
Today, the introduction of cell phones and touch screens have made push button phones obsolete.

Take A Hike Day
Take A Hike Day
On November 17, wear your most comfortable hiking shoes and take a hike because it is Take A Hike Day.
A hike is a long walk in the countryside, away from populated urban areas. Hiking can be done for pleasure or for exercise and is usually done on unpaved paths known as trails. The length and duration of a hike can vary from a few hours to multiple days.
Healthy and Social
In many parts of the world, hiking is a social pastime, where people get together to walk through forests, parks, riversides and mountains in order to commune with nature and to bond with their fellow hikers. Many cities and countries have professional hiking associations that organize hiking trips around the year.
Research has shown that hiking can have many health and social benefits. Considered to be a good way to exercise, hiking can have all the benefits associated with walking in nature – it can reduce stress, increase heart activity and reduce blood pressure.
