A Belated Happy Presidents Day to You All. . .

When I was a kid, we didn't have Presidents Day; we had separate observances for Lincoln's (Feb12) and Washington's (Feb22) birthdays.  It seemed like a bit of a ripoff (and honestly, kinda disrespectful) when they folded them together into a single holiday, lumping the two great men together with Chester A. Arthur and Warren G. Harding (among, you know, others). . .

Anyway, I know that Presidents Day was last week, but I just found this:

    You forgot Millard Fillmore.

    "...seemed like a bit of a ripoff..."

    How long is it going to be before we just do as the Brits and call holidays bank holidays and name them for the month they occur.
    When they were moved to Mondays, they lost their true meaning for most folks.

      I actually considered citing ol' MF directly; can't remember now why I decided not to (too easy, maybe?); but he's definitely covered in the 'among others'. . .

    I saw that on FB but my crowd on there is not such that they would 'get it' so I had saved it for here .... until you beat me to it!! ;-)

    Kid must have one of THOSE uncles .... you know, the kind you secretly admire and wish you was like?

    What can I say?

      Yeah, I know. . .

      (and thanks, I guess, for not taking this into 'presidential farts', or anything like that. . .)

      So if the president farts while seeing his shadow, and the groundhog is in the woods, does it still smell like b/s??

      Gee, thanks, Dave; Suldog didn't take it into 'presidential farts', but you will. . . (and let's just leave the groundhog out of it, shall we?)
