Yeah well we had to strip him of his holiday status when people finally woke up to the fact that when he got here there were people standing on the shore already and he really didn't discover shit. Add in the fact that they raped and murdered anything that moved and pilfered, and stole everything that wasn't nailed down, and he didn't look like someone we should be celebrating.
Kind of like trying to make a Capt Cook holiday in Hawaii.

Courts are closed...it's a free furlough day we can't bitch about :)

I'm working ...I don't work in the court house.

Not all banks......

[gn7]

Federal chartered banks are closed, state chartered banks are open(in kalifornia)

kalifornia state buildings are "suppose" to be open, including state court houses, federal courts are closed. Not sure about city and county.
Kalifornia, Hawaii and Nevada do not recognize it as a holiday.
Hawaii has never been big on "discoverers" :wink2:

Kalifornia doesn't recognize it because its not liberal politically correct. Not sure why Nevada doesn't recognize it.

Taking the day off over here. Trying to extend the weekend as long as possible.

[Wendi]

Schools are no longer closed on Columbus Day!

[gn7]

In Kalifornia, Hawaii and Nevada. Pretty sure they are closed in other states. It is still a "national holiday"

South Dakota celebrates today as "Native Americans Day" and in Berkley (downdown Moscow, Kalifornia) it is celebrated as "Indigenous People's Day"

[Paul65K]

I've decided to take the day off :D

From the looks of things, you had a strenuous weekend. You deserve it. :sleeping:

[gn7]

Monday thru Friday are holidays for me, the other two are just weekend.

Thanks for noticing :rolleyes

Actually that doesn't really matter. They can be open if they want to for service purposes but nothing will clear overnight. Large banks that have a large check cashing presence such as Wells, BofA and Chase will often be open on Holidays for transaction purposes although nothing will truly be processed.

[gn7]

Nothing can clear as long as the Fed is closed.

Which means exactly what you said. The doors are open "for service", but banking is in effect closed.

When the papa bank is closed, the "system" is shut down.

Now I know what's it like to go to Sam's Club on a weekday. So much quieter but no samples. Maybe head on over to the RV show in Pomona.

[Milkmoney]

I work everyday. :)

[HB Vic]

Columbus definitely wasn't a nice guy. I doubt I'd buy him a beer or give him directions :D

[HB Vic]

or give him a tour of the newly wrapped hotboat.com moho.:biggrin:

I surly wouldn't offer a tour, but some people just take what they want lol

[gn7]

uh Hotboat, careful there. Don't want to see this light hearted thread get too political. Hate to see you get banned.

I didn't smell political undertones, more like uric acid :D

I'll be happy to drink a beer on the day off he gave me!

I'm hoping the same thing! Traffic has been a mother on the 57 south the past month or so.

Is that a shake?


Sent from my Bat Cave

Nah. Strawberry Lime-aid. Kids all got shakes.

[HB Vic]

Cherry limeaide with Vodka is killer :D

Yes. Yes it is. I try to refrain from drinking vodka through a straw. I consume way to much too fast.

[ChumpChange]

Oh...I'm disappointed ;)


Sent from my Bat Cave

Were you gonna ask me if I had any fries with that shake?

[ChumpChange]

No I was gonna say I had the solid version :D

I eat a bowl of ice cream EVERY night. Note I used the word bowl, not a couple scoops.
