Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Charles Darwin!!
Well, I was just checking legal US and California holidays.
The Federal holiday for Presidents is, this year, Washington's Birthday (observed) Monday Feb 16...His actual b.d. is Feb 22. I guess it is no longer called Presidents Day...well half a loaf, etc.
The Feds have 10 legal holidays.

California, on the other hand, has 16(!) legal holidays (17 if you count the day after Thanksgiving), as if the state can afford them, given our economic miasma!

Add'l to the Feds, Calif. has Lincoln's B'Day (yea!), Good Friday (hmm, a religious holiday!), Cesar Chavez Day, Emmancipation Day (I've never heard of this one), and Calif. Admission Day. To its credit, or to its greed, most private businesses do not close for most of these holidays.
