Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Don't know, don't care...unless I've got something special to do like doctor's appointments, shooting with friend, having lunch with friend, going to see something we haven't seen before (or maybe we have) with a friend, people watching with friend, or solving all the world's problems with a friend, shopping with a friend....or just hanging out with a friend.

I have never agreed with this "move the holiday to Monday or Friday so we can have a three-day weekend" nonsense. Independence day is the 4th of July. Washington's birthday (not President's Day - that's stupid) is February 22nd. Armistice Day is November 11th. Decoration Day is May 30th. The only holidays that should have a fluctuating date are Easter and Thanksgiving. Edited October 11 by Alpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chruch that Washington attended has taken down a plaque noting his membership in that chruch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as much shuts down there because of it, but the Federal holiday still applies to certain government functions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 There's historical artifacts that substantiate the Norse were here way before Columbus. And there are artifacts indicating the Chinese/Asians were along our west coast, way, way before anyone. The Italians get all bothered about this. We didn't become the "America's" until Amerigo Vespucci got involved in the early 1500's. So Columbus didn't discover America! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 I've been tire before, and I'm tired now, but that don't make me re-tired! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Don't know, don't care. The only time I notice what day it might be is on Sunday and that is because some stores are closed or shut early. Other than that a day is a day.

Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 My greatest hope most weeks is for only a 2 or 3 Monday week. The OP's picture describes most days around here perfectly! I would print and post it above my desk, but very few, if anybody, around here would understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 As long as you get up before you take a leak, you are doing good. It's when you do it in the reverse order that your day is not going to go well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
