Good morning everyone. Happy "Presidents Day". I remember when we had Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays in February, it meant two days off from school for us back then. 
I guess we no longer honor them as individuals but along with all the other presidents, good or bad. I saw a piece on TV yesterday about Millard Filmore, yeah, he was one of our presidents. The highlight of his administration is that he was able to lower the price of a postage stamp. :o Beyond that, he was a mess being pro-slavery and anti-Catholic among other things. Yet we get to honor him along with Washington and Lincoln. :cry: Somehow I get lost in the current thinking in Washington DC. Can they continue to screw up our lives more than they already have by limiting our choices and what we can and cannot do while keeping all options open for themselves?
Time to get off my soapbox for today. I guess I should write a blog, but then probably nobody would read it, so it's easier to express my opinions here. :mrgreen:
Have a good week ya'll....
