When I moved to California a few summers ago, a beautiful California 10-striped junebug greeted me. It makes sense that the state’s variety is pinstriped and different from the ho-hum solid green types found elsewhere. Celebrate the last day of June 2012 with some June-related activities.
- Rent Junebug, the 2005 indy film that featured Amy Adams (one of my favorite actresses) in her breakout role
- Bone up on Junteenth — a holiday that celebrates freedom and emancipation
- Check out Kurt Vonnegut‘s 1971 play Happy Birthday, Wanda June (for free)
