Thanks Steve,
Believe it or not they don't celebrate Columbus Day down here. I guess they just don't recognize Columbus...oh well.
Up north it was a regular holiday...people had off from work, etc.
I think football is a more important holiday to the people down here. Homecoming is a big deal...and people either have a half day, or they're off for the day. Whatever tickles your fancy I suppose.

so you guys don't get to enjoy a day off?...that would suck. Being self employed my friggen boss wouldn't give me the day off even though it's supposed to be thanksgiving...🙁

and now I understand why I got an email reply from a Vintage Air in Texas today...

The only people that get today off here are Government workers and the banks. 😡

I got to see a bit of a news story on the anti-Columbus people. Guess its a new tradition down here.

I think banks have about 175 or so holidays a year.

I guess it is considered a federal holiday. There was no mail today...but I think the schools were open. I'm also guessing that it's a bank holiday as well.

I thought it was a holiday throughout the US until Jack educated me....
