THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW!

     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!
