‘Twas so declared by Governor Easley.
To mark the occasion, I pass along this AP photo:
Caption: DELAND, Fla. — Dave Albury plays with his cat, Romeo, at his home. David Albury was at home recuperating from surgery several months ago when he noticed the black fur on his cat’s back was shaped in the number “3.” The fur screamed “Dale Earnhardt” to Albury.
