I just got back from the bank.
It was the one time in years that I needed to talk face-to-face with a banking official. It was a dead end, as today is Christopher Columbus Day. Private banks close on Columbus Day for reasons the public can never know.
I’m thinking about joining the Columbus Day opposition movement. The main argument is that Columbus and his friends weren’t very nice to Native Americans. I think I can buy into that hype, if it means denying a holiday to bankers and mailmen.
If a closed bank or post office is the only way you know when a holiday happens, it’s not a holiday worth closing for.
