So it seems that our local city council is taking Friday the 10th off as a holiday; for Rememberance Day (aka Armistice Day, aka if you don't know why it's a special day, you probably will engage in the same stupid behaviour that made the holiday occur in the first place).
Very well, take a holiday on the wrong day because it so happens you aren't working on the correct day. Just an excuse for a free day. Bah.
But that's just quasi-bad. Here's what really got me.
The public libraries are also taking the Friday off; but they are open on Saturday the 11th!
Very nice.
Politicians. I hope the ghost of George Patton infests your armpits on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, every year from now until eternity.
(And YES, I spelled it that way on purpose.)

Why Patton and not Pershing?
Balck Jack Pershing would make the point I suppose, but I rather like the picture of a miniature George C. Scott pulling out all the little hairs, and blasting away with his revolvers (I think he carried a brace) with the pearl grips.
