August, like a celebration made of

Not all of the items that were used to determine the day of the week reminded people that they should ensure that their shoes are tied of the correct tightness to not be so loose as the shoe would fall off, and neither be so tight that the circulation in one's foot would be interrupted.

It would remind me of the witch that cast a spell, in the hopes that a Goldilocks-zoned exoplanet would be so close as to be heretofore unknown to anyone yet easily transited to using existing technology. Proxima Centauri B does look appealing, even though it's star is a Red Dwarf and it is 1.3 parsecs away. Imagine if an as yet undiscovered habitable planet was only 1.3 light years away; that ought to change things significantly.

Of course, not all of the spells that the witch could cast are made up of cream cheese. I should know.
