Presidents Day Holiday

Today is a State Holiday, but keeping the roads open sometimes requires people to work. I get this Friday off instead. It has been dumping snow in the mountains. Thank you George Washington, Happy Birthday.  When I was in grade school, I could do a report on any president, and I chose Abraham Lincoln. I think I would have to say Ronald Reagan was the favorite president for me during my lifetime. I think state employees should have my birthday off as well- Dec. 6th.
'I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of national emergency, even if I'm in a cabinet meeting'.
Ronald Reagan

'You should be ashamed,' the father told his son, Andy, 'When Abraham Lincoln was your age, he used to walk ten miles every day to get to school.'
'Really?' Andy responded. 'Well, when he was your age, he was president.'


Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

Q: How did George Washington speak to his army?
A: In general terms!
