I'm off Monday, too. I work as a consultant for Chesterfield County, and its mostly governments who are off today.

I want Atlanta to have a holiday for Bill Sherman. That would be cool. (At least name I-75 after him, as it rolls straight through Atlanta!)

Does it go all the way to the ocean?

Given the number of damnyankees Atlanta suffers, that's probably not as far fetched as you might think.

That's awesome, I have to use that on my South Carolina-born wife.

In Virginia, it is officially Lee-Jackson-King day, thus the day off for governments.

From what I read your are not correct here. the King part is still Monday, today is just for Lee-Jackson.

I thought they were talking about a Cesar Chavez Day in Texas, wonder when that will happen.....
