A-to-Z Challenge Theme Reveal

The A-to-Z Blogging Challenge begins on April 1!
Last year, quite a few blog readers told me they really enjoyed my theme of “the letter of the day quiz”.  Each day I posted several photos and asked blog readers to identify them.
This year I'm doing something similar.  It's still “the letter of the day quiz” and I'll have photos, but different categories than last year.

Because there is no specific letter associated with today, it may be a little more difficult for you to answer the question below each photo.  On the other hand, just come up with whatever looks right to you and you can't be wrong!

Current events

What is this?
Military - yes this is a military band
Where is this?
Legal - yes these are US Supreme Court justices
Where is this?
Random photo

Does this look like your local store?
Weird websites – in honor of the current toilet paper shortage, click here!

And I'll continue with special days and obscure holidays, daily instead of weekly like I do the rest of the year.  Here's today's:

March 16 - Everything You Do is Right Day, Artichoke Hearts Day, Panda Day


So you don't spoil the guessing for other blog readers, don't post your answers to the questions in the comments.  Your job is to post an anecdote that relates to one of the photos above.

Answers will be posted on April 1.

Thank you for playing!
