  1. The traditional observance of Columbus Day is 12 October, i.e., I refuse to acknowledge federal mandated observances of Monday holidays.

    Today, 09 October, is LEIF ERICKSEN Day, as he discovered America in 1000 A.D., 500 years before Christopher Columbus.

  2. So anyone else in the facility would be guilty of cultural appropriation if they use a wheelchair? I think I'm getting the hang of this!

  3. @John Robert Mallernee- Good to hear from you, my friend! I agree that moving holidays around for the sake of creating 3-day weekends sucks the meaning out of them.

    @TrickyRicky- On the plus side, Johnny should be entitled to open a casino.

  4. What's the indigenous holiday that celebrates the first guy to cross the Bering Strait?

  5. It's Thnksgiving Day up here, no matter what self-serving politicians try to call it chasing votes they're not going to get.
    Besides, we were celebrating a version of it long before any Pilgrims bought boat passage. ;)

  6. Are Braces Girl and Heart Attack Guy celebrating I. P. Day with Johnny?

    As a historical question, I wonder if we'd have these Monday "holidays" if Richard Nixon had won the presidential election in 1960.
