I went to work as usual, just like I've been doing for the past 33 years or so.

Couldn't help but notice how light the traffic was today, no mail, no school, no federal, state or county agencies open, banks, credit unions, etc...makes me wonder what the percentage of folks are who their paycheck from a government entity. It must be dang near 50% or more judging by the traffic flow I experienced today.

I believe I read somewhere how after 50 some years after his death there's still a large divide in our country...not looking AT ALL to start a racist thread here...but dag gone, with the traffic flow like I saw today, how come I can't get a piece of the holiday action? I'm starting to get kind of tired of supporting others while they do nothing.

Then I was wondering just how much the government would save if they eliminated this holiday in it's entirety...which made me think probably not much cause what would the typical government worker be doing on a Monday anyway...probably not much.
