Columbus Day Observed or Not?

I don't know about you, but I totally overlooked the fact it was Columbus Day until I got into the office and was told not to expect any mail or to take care of any bank transactions.

This begs the question, who really OBSERVES Columbus Day anyway.

I mean, if you really want to get technical, Columbus Day is not until 10/12. But, the feds OBSERVE it today, so they can give all the government employees another "much-deserved" day off.

Please.

Do you think any of the people who actually get the day off for this "holiday" spend any time whatsoever observing it?

I doubt it.
