It’s been 20 years since the original Towel Day, in memory of the late great Douglas Adams.
In 2009 I hosted Blawg Review #213 in memory of Douglas on Towel Day.
This year, I wish all you hoopy froods a happy and healthy Towel Day.
It’s on days like this I miss Douglas Adams as well as Ed, the editor of Blawg Review. Both taken from us before their times. Both were hoopy froods.
Happy #towelday! See https://t.co/1JpdWcjdti (Blawg Review #213 Towel Day edition) and Blawg Review 42 – https://t.co/W9966z42a9

Arrakis. Dune. Desert planet… Welcome to Blawg Review #256! In 1965, the best selling science fiction book of all time, Frank Herbert’s Dune, was first published.
