The wife reminded me that Father's Day is coming up.  I never have a clue.

This morning it was 58°F here when I got up at dawn.  We have not had a 90°F high yet, which is unusual, but they predict one Sunday, barely.

I think it needs to end, but I've thought that for years.

It's a sham "holiday" for government employees and kids.
If they do they will just replace it with another sham holiday

We should have a holiday called "Sham Holiday" literally, to cover them all on one day, maybe Feb. 29.  Or 30.

I miss Pulaski Day.

Nobody outside Chicago seems to know that it exists. I used to get school off for that one.

The schools no longer close for it. That stopped about 10 years ago or so. 

Crook County, Chiraq and other government offices still close.

Our "Columbus Day" holiday is actually staff development, so the students get it off but teachers and administrators do not.  It typically falls on the same weekend as TX-OU so it's easy for us to get up to Dallas for the weekend and spend some extra time there.

Market started out really strong, but it looks like the profit-takers and computers are out playing and manipulating again.

I've got a question for teachers like @OrangeAfroMan and @CWSooner ...

What really happens on those "staff development days"? I just have this vision in my head that it's a bunch of teachers sitting around drinking margaritas and bitching about their lazy entitled students and their overly meddlesome and unreasonable parents...

My wife hates them.  It's generally a series of state mandated presentations given by people who haven't been in a classroom in decades, and are paid 110k to travel the state and lecture them about whatever the latest craze is in teaching.
