Happy Columbus Day!
And since this quote expresses my sentiments of the day, I have to share it - if you're a postal worker or a bank employee, enjoy your day off.
I also hate those holidays that fall on a Monday where you don't get mail, those fake holidays like Columbus Day. What did Christopher Columbus do, discover America? If he hadn't, somebody else would have and we'd still be here. Big deal.

Ummm, I kind of agree with John Waters. I was wanting some mail today!! Columbus day is kind of annoying to me now that I don't work in a bank anymore, of course ;)
