This weekend will be a scorcher.  While a lot of Montanans will be sheltering under air conditioning, there are still some off-the-wall holidays to celebrate.  And let's start with a great reason to be outside:

Saturday, July 13th:

International Skinny Dip Day

Best...Idea...Ever!!  Go to your favorite body of water, shed the clothing and enjoy the coolness.  I just heard that the Yellowstone Boat Float will be the same day.  May have to go there and provide coverage (pun intended).

And if police officers intervene, just inform them of this special day.  They may chuckle while they give you a ride.

Embrace Your Geekness Day

If you are a little shy about the naked swimming, enjoy this day for all things Star Wars, Star Trek, Dungeons and Dragons, and video games.  And what can you serve at the all-night gaming session?

National Beans 'n Franks Day

Good, tasty source of protein.  Side effects generally mild, but I recommend opening all the windows.  And who should you invite to your cosplaying baked bean game night?

National Paul Day and National Sam Day

We all know someone named Paul or Sam, right?  Call them or send them a text or email and let them know today is their day.

Sunday, July 14th:

National Nude Day

Now you don't even need a body of water, nor clothes.  Go au naturel.  You're sure to be a big hit in church.

And since the 13th is devoted to beans and franks, this day is...

National Mac & Cheese Day

Here's to a comfort food staple.  Mix in cut up franks for a real treat.  And what goes well after mac and cheese for dessert?

National Grand Marnier Day

Pair this orange liqueur with dark chocolate for some me-time indulgence.  Must be at least 21 to partake, and please enjoy in moderation.  And if you want company, with whom should you share this decadence?

National Joey Day, Marco Day, and Reese Day

Do you know anyone by these names?  If yes, then call them up or text them.  If not, then more rich food you can enjoy naked.

Stay cool this weekend.  Thanks, no, I don't need to see the pictures.
