Arbor Day ( Florida)
"The United States officially observes National Arbor Day on the last Friday in April. However, The Florida Legislature in 1945 designated the third Friday in January as the State Arbor Day, because that is the time of year when the climate is optimal for planting trees in Florida."  Source: www.arborday.org/states/index.cfm?state=FL

Lee-Jackson-King Day

Lee-Jackson-King Day was a holiday celebrated in the Commonwealth of Virginia from 1984 to 2000.
Robert E. Lee's birthday (January 19, 1807) has been celebrated as a Virginia holiday since 1889. In 1904, the legislature added the birthday of Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson (January 21, 1824) to the holiday, and Lee-Jackson Day was born.
In 1983, President Ronald Reagan approved an Act of Congress declaring January 15 to be a national holiday in honor of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. Since 1978, Virginia had celebrated King's birthday in conjunction with New Year's Day. To align with the federal holiday, the Virginia legislature simply combined King's celebration with the existing Lee-Jackson holiday.
The incongruous nature of the holiday, which simultaneously celebrated the lives of Confederate generals and a civil rights icon, did not escape the notice of Virginia lawmakers. Legislators protested the holiday by waving pictures of Jesse Jackson, Spike Lee, and Martin Luther King, Jr. around the state capitol. In 2000, Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore proposed splitting Lee-Jackson-King Day into two separate holidays, with Lee-Jackson Day to be celebrated the Friday before what would become Martin Luther King Day. The measure was approved and the two holidays are now celebrated separately.

Today is not a holiday, it is just a normal Sunday

It's always an observance for me.

Every week, I observe the same cashiers at the stores that I go to


Are they women?

Let's see, today is February 11th, which is the day before Lincoln's birthday that is only observed in Illinois these days as far as I know...it is also five days before the release of "Ghost Rider", which I hope doesn't suck because Ghost Rider is kinda cool.

I was talking about the clock that appears on the top of inthe00s. Under the place where it says Hey, xxx, you have xx messages, 0 are new. The clock on there did not automatically change, like it has done in the past.

Change the board clock yourself.  I explained how.  And to get the clock on your computer to change, if you run Windows, you need to go to Microsoft.com and download something that will allow your computer to jump ahead an hour.

Today, I observed that Nally's only method of telling time is on his computer as he does not possess another time-telling device, whether it be a wristwatch, a clock radio, or the VCR.

He's obviously aware of the proper time else he wouldn't know that the board clock is incorrect for him. I assume the lack of automatic changeover just interests him, so that he's not actually complaining about it but rather is simply discussing it and looking forward to April when he can test his theories about possible causes of this.

If you've downloaded that widget thingie from Microsoft to update your computer, on April 1st, your computer won't jump ahead another hour.  The reason you had to download it in the first place was because come April 1st, when you thought the time would change....it wouldn't.  So the computer won't recognize that date as anything other than April 1st. 

And what's to discuss?  The board clock didn't change.  Either change it, or leave it one hour behind every other time-telling device in your home.
