THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW
Today's Blog is a bit on the serious
side friends. Tomorrow, February 11th.,
an estimated 100 million Americans will
be watching the Super Bowl. The following
day, February 12th, an estimated 17 million
people will be "off the job." About half of
them will have pre-arranged their absence.
The rest will just call in sick. Those figures
don't include school absenteeism which
will also be higher than usual on Monday.
A week late our nation will observe what
has come to be called "President's Day."
In reality the legislation establishing that
holiday calls it "Washington's Birthday."
Of course it isn't really Washington's
Birthday. Or Lincoln's birthday, which
also falls in February. So, it would
seem the date set aside for "President's
Day" isn't really linked to a specific
date. That said, I am proposing that
"President's Day" be moved to the day
after Super Bowl. That way people can
have their gand their holiday back to
back! It would aid the economy by
cutting down on the need for sick pay
and replacement employe costs and
give the football sports fans a day of
rest following the big game. I've
written to Congressman Cartwright
and Senator Casey with my idea but
have yet receive a reply. If you happen
to favor my proposal I'd ask you to
call or write to them with your
endorsement. I hope you do, that
you'll enjoy the game, and that all
your NEWS is good!
